Guitar Hero: World Tour sloppy cymbals

Kairyuka · 09-05-2009, 09:10 AM

Hi there.
I'm the proud owner of a ps2 and the complete guitar hero world tour set. Unfortunately, both my cymbals have become pretty sloppy. They would register two hits while I was only hitting once etc. I fixed this problem pretty well on my orange cymbal by lowering it, making the whole cymbal kinda loose so it could jump up and down, and that seemed to work. But now my yellow cymbal has become sloppy too, and the fix doesn't work. Please, some help here.

Hello Kairyuka!

This problem is common with this game. You should try opening up the case at the back. Inside, you will find a chip and a circular gold sensor. The gold sensor will have to wires glued to it. Sometimes, the wires don't touch the sensors, which makes the cymbal not react when you hit it. Use a piece of duct tape to cover the entire sensor so the 2 wires are pushed onto the sensor.

I hope this information helped you!

The problem isn't that it doesn't react, I have seen that youtube movie, the problem is that it's too loose. The cymbals simply react too well

I would take it in to wherever you bought it from. The cymbals generally cause annoying issues.

You see, that's the problem, I bought it from an internet shop and I've already returned it once.
I'll try to see what I can do D:

Oh that's unfortunate. I would call Redoctane and ask them what to do now.

Yeah, but unfortunately I don't live in the US, I live in Europe, in a small country called Denmark so...
Well, I'll look to if I can get it returned again, thank you :D
