Footswitch Schematic

I could really use the schematic for Ampeg's afp-2, their 2 button footswitch. I lost the footswitch for my reverberocket in a tornado, and building one seems to be a better solution than spending $50.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't find any specific evidence against this, but it's probably just like any other footswitch.

A TRS Cable (tip, ring, sleeve) with the switches between the tip/sleeve and ring/sleeve

as in

T /tip----switch--\nS -sleeve----------|

R

ing---switch--/

Hope that makes sense.

Yeah, it makes some sense. Thanks a lot. I'm still open to any and all schematics.

Okay, i've got one more question. Do you all think that a fender 2 button would work with my amp?

Here's a link to an earlier post i had about about footswitches http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1717180

There's a question about diodes & resistors so i built another footswitch useing resistors but i could'nt get it to work,tried diodes worked perfect.

Okay, thanks.

I have the three button version. I'll see what it looks like on the inside when I get home.

^Don't the three buttons have one input for channel and reverb then another input for chorus? If that's the case then it should be perfect minus the extra input and button.

Yup, in my case reverb and channel, then tremelo on its own cable. I'll probably have something for you in a few hours.

Mine is for a superocket. Love these amps!

I really appreciate it.

Does this make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense, i think. Is that without LEDs, or are the diodes you have listed the LEDs?

Oh sorry. The diodes in the diagram are the leds. Its a pretty simple deal.

Yeah, it is quite simple, i've just never built anything from a schematic before, haha. But, i'm good with electronics, so the actual wiring will be a very small deal, it's just making sure i get everything right. I appreciate everything.

EDIT: The more I look at it, the more I confuse myself, haha. What will I need as far as cable goes to efficiently wire everything up?

Check your PMs.

Thanks for everything guys. I appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks for all the help, guys.

hello guys,

i just got an ampegs svt 5 and i'm looking for a footswitch as well. The ampeg AFP 2 would fit my amp but i'd like to try building it on my own as well.

@nickcaveman

could you possibly send me the same PM you sent to fenderstra62 if you sent him a better schematics?

greetings from Austria,

matt

Hail Austria

Matt, what I sent FenderStrat62 was an offer to sell him my two button Fender switch. I don't need it, although it works fine (it is essentially unused). The shipping might be prohibitive to Austria, so I don't expect you to be interested. It also has no LED, so it very simple. I did take a photo of the inside if you'd find that helpful, but it is very simple.

Hi, I found this thread searching online for a schematic to the Ampeg AFP-2 footswitch.

I have a different brand 2-button TRS footswitch that won't operate my SVP-Pro. Not sure what's up.... but I want to compare the wiring in my switch to the Ampeg, see if there's a difference I can correct.

I can handle basic soldering but the diagram above by mrBrown doesn't make sense to me.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Interesting thread. I have a Hohner Marlin with reverb, drive and chorus. But this one has 3 separate jacks. One for each. I'd like to combine them all into one instead of building 3 singles. The easiest way would be to hardwire it with a common ground. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
