Members rrobinsong Posted July 28, 2013 Members Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi,I'm getting a JamMan solo xt and am wondering if I can use a 3 button footswitch from a fender stage 1000 amp. I have a carvin amp and can plug the foot switch from that into my Boss me-70 to cycle through presets so I don't have keep bending down to change it. Does anyone know if any stereo (ring tip sleeve) plug and 3 button switch will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evets618 Posted July 28, 2013 Members Share Posted July 28, 2013 The only way to find out is... find out.Plug it in. Report back.I will say, IME, Fender footswitches are annoyingly amp-specific.That is, seemingly identical looking foot switches won't work with different amps.Also IME, the older blue & silver Digitech three-button will work as well as the newer black & white model.YMMV.

Members rrobinsong Posted July 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2013 Ok I will do that. I should get the JamMan at the end of this week. I did call our singer and had him look at the footswitch (which resides unused in the back of the amp I use for practice). It's actually a 4 button switch.

Members rrobinsong Posted July 31, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 31, 2013 I received my JamMan today. I ordered it Friday night past midnight. Got it in 3 days... thats pretty unbelievable. My first test was to use my Carvin 2 button switch because I haven't been over to pick up the Fender footswitch. It worked sort of, it will only cycle down.

Members the recluse Posted July 31, 2013 Members Share Posted July 31, 2013 The digitech switch is 3 momentary switches wired to a TRS 1/4" jack. It's actually a pretty simple build, the switches, jack, 2 diodes, and an enclosure are all you need (and wire, obviously). Search online for the schematic for a TC-Electronic G-Switch. It's the same circuit and can be used interchangeably. All of that being said, I saw a digitech 3-button switch on ebay for $10 yesterday, so that's probably even easier/cheaper than building one.
