Members Soulplane83 Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 Does anybody know where to get one of the 4 button footswitches for the eq contours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fran da Man Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I've never seen a store with them listed, you may have to go direct to GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AnalogKid Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 You need to call Genz-Benz. You could try to PM hasbeen or agedhorse, but it would probably be better if you just called GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I stink at bass Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 If you purchased the amp new, but did not get the switch, GB will send you one for free. If you bought it used, you MAY have to buy it, but they will still ship it asap. Just speaking from my own experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get GB to send you a freebie 4 button? Thanks:wave: Billy-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks:wave:Billy-B I'm pretty certain that the 4-button is an upgrade. New, they shipped with a 2-button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I stink at bass Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I actually have a 6 button. I put the 2 button and 4 button together. It looks like a mini midi controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Call the factory. Didn't see this before, the search function is pretty much broken on HC IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing maybe GB has a few sitting in the back room (and they won't work on anything else). Regardless, GBE always takes care of their people.

Dude, if you got a free one, you lucked out. As per GB, there is a charge for the switch (I'm waiting on an answer to see how much).

There is only 1 jack, so I take it you put the other one on the floor for its awesome placebo effects?

Members MrJoshua Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 There are two jacks - one 1/4", and one multi-pin. At least, on the back of my GBE600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I use the 6 button with the GBE600 and the 5 switch with my GBE1200. I wish that it had a mute as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they left it off the 750 and 1200 because they are the pro series amps. It would be really embarrassing if you were in front of 10,000 fans and went to hit the HF attack and accidentally muted yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but nothing is more annoying than hearing someone tune between songs. Plus, if you switch basses, as I often do, you just hit the mute, and yank the chord.

Plus, if you switch basses, as I often do, you just hit the mute, and yank the chord. My 750 still has a mute button on the face of the amp (which also mutes the direct out to FOH as well). If you're switching basses, chances are that the stand is by the amp...within easy reach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes, the mute switch on the front of the amp prevents the "sudden silence" issue in front of a crowd due to uncoordinated bass player feet. Now that you guys are getting more experienced with foot switches (the one area guitar players excel), this may need reconsidering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, freakin' YES! And thanks for considering us in the same mental league as the guitards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
