Members Difficult4 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Does anybody know of a two button footswitch that is dependable? These marshall footswitches I've used shit out about as often as these peavey ones. How are Fender footswitches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlc1587 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Probably not... I have two Marshall footswitches... both have different ways to hook up. And then I have my 5150 footswitch which hooks up through a cable that almost looks like a midi cable or something. Different than any other amp I use. So it'll have to be something with that sort of end on it. Which the standard footswitches don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about your 5150 cable lookin like that though. Is it an original? Mine just has a regular quarter inch plug. Thanks though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mine is a 6505. I do own an original 5150 too but I don't have the footswitch to that. If it's a regular plug then it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, now my question is; Do you know of a durable footswitch, with two buttons, and preferably two leds? I know how these marshall and peavey footswitches last. I'm not lookin to get a super heavy duty custom FJA made one or anything. Just somethin that may last longer than the pos Marshalls and Peaveys.

A friend gave it to me when I was younger and I have used it with a ton of amps. I'm not sure the model or anything. The 6505 footswitch I have lets me turn on the lead... the clean... and then the crunch. So kinda makes the amp into a 3 channel amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been contemplating getting one for my 5150. Yes!! thats along the line of what I'm goin for. Thats not much more than a 2 button marshall costs. That looks alot better in quality, is small, and doesn' have an attached cable. This is definatly a consideration. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members patsplat Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've used this with my 5150.It seems like a pretty solid built pedal to me and I've never had a problem with it. https://www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=FS22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyBird Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I use a Carvin FS22 for mine. I hate it, it's labeled backwards and confuses me. God help me when I try to use it for my Rockmaster because I can never remember which buttons change what (2 buttons switching 3 channels... ). It doesnt have LED's so I cant tell what is activated and what isn't. But I dont know that the peavey switches do either. I was about to cave and actually buy a peavey footswitch... not a good move I guess? Do the Peavey switches have LEDs? The Carvin is just a metal box with a couple of switches wired into it. I've taken it apart, nothing complicated. I thought about making my own footswitch, but the carvin one works well enough. A sturdy metal box. I will say that looking at how it's built... I dont see how it could possibly fail unless a wire takes a dump on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members taco-man Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 What about the BOSS FS-6?Actually, I was going to post a question of whether that footswitch would work with a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Difficult4 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 If the Marshall switch has LED's it won't work.Jerry Oh man, it does have leds. Its to the VS100r head. Damn! I think I'm gonna try and fix this footswitch myself. I've isolated the problem to the point where it enters the footswitch, most common break point I bet. If I just shorten the length by a foot or so, that'll be fine. Thanks Jerry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if the wire is broken it will most likely be right where it goes into the pedal. The switches go bad too. If you have any questions shoot me an email.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Difficult4 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks everyone. I successfully shortened the cable.And now I have some excellent ideas for alternative footswitches. Jerry! How much are one of your bulletproof footswitches?
