Members Pete Rules Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 OK, my friend is running an Orange Rockerverb 100. What he wants to do is run the crunch channel for rhythm, then during solos, switch over to the clean channel which will be cranked up and driven by a distortion pedal. Is there anyway this can be accomplished besides simultaneously hitting the channel footswitch and the distortion box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members krazeexharhar Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 What's wrong with using a pushed clean channel for rhythms and then switching channels to have a pushed lead channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sense_of_henry Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 This "friend", is it really you "Pete Rules"? I'd do it the other way around but if you really wanted to, your "friend" could set his pedals up so that his foot could push two switches at once.

Members SoulSerenade Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 The Radial Loopbone will work if his amp has 1/4" jack for the footswitch and if he's willing to spend the cash.Though it's probably a lot more feasible to just set up the footswitches close to each other.

The orange amps sound killer, so we like using that tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members POGphile Posted June 28, 2006 Members Share Posted June 28, 2006 OR if you really must change channels and use the external distortion pedal... you need a DPDT custom box (3PDT if you need the LED) for 2 functions: 1. bypass for the pedal 2. remote amp switch activated by one DPDT switch I'm pretty sure analogman.com can build you one for less than 100 bucks...

Members I.P. Freeley Posted June 28, 2006 Members Share Posted June 28, 2006 Duct tape a 2x4 to the pedal and footswitch. Step on the 2x4 to activate both switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig the Radial solution, I have a couple products from them (sig) and think they are great. Costs a bit, but doesn't get much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omor Posted June 28, 2006 Members Share Posted June 28, 2006 'wicked switch of the west':http://www.geocities.com/negauneemusic/WSW.swf it's a loop/channel switcher modification to the orange footswitch. he could just do the clean loop portion and add a pedal.
