Anyone make a good 2-Button Footswitch??
« on: October 11, 2020, 10:04:29 am »
Hey all,

I've searched far and wide for a quality 2-button footswitch box for reverb/trem and haven't had any success. All the Fender style ones are pretty cheaply made, as are the other styles I've found. Does anyone have a good source for these?

Thanks!

You can get an original Fender VIB/REV footswitch on ebay. Certainly not cheap!   :l2:

If those prices don't scare you I can make you a deal on my original footswitch.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Solder a Neutrik stereo jack on a Mexican fender footswitch and you won't have any problems. I have mine since 1995 or so...
"This should be played at high volume.. preferably in a residential area"

Thanks Sluckey, a little too rich for my blood though!

I've seen the ones here on the Hoffman site and was thinking there might be other options.

Thanks all.
