| anonymous | They're just two separate on/off switches. On, each shorts the hot to ground. Off they break the connection. The trick is that the hot leads for each (rev & trem) must be shielded from each other or you're going to get a pretty loud *POP* whenever you switch the tremolo on/off. Very annoying... Finding this kind of cable is tough from what I hear; we had some lying in a junk box at work left over from a bioamplifier installation. The other alternative is to use two separate shielded cables and then shrink wrap the two together (mouser sells shrink tubing in long lengths), but that's going to be a bit more bulky and kind of a hassle. Fender also sells the footswitches (I think for around $50). If you're not in need of switching on the fly the easier thing to do is to just build a little box with two toggle switches to set on top of the amp. The easiest of course is just to solder yourself a shorting plug. MJ |
