DR Roadster 1x12 Footswitch Cable

Hi Guys

New owner of a Roadster with some of the footswitch functions not working.

I would like to know how many pins you have inside the plug of your footswitch cable, my cable has five.

Thanks

I have a Roadster 1x12 and the cable that connects the footswitch has 7 pins inside it. I can't imaging Boogie shipping the wrong cable??

Five pins? That's strange, my Roadster head has seven pins in the footswitch lead.

Ciao ...

Thanks Guys

I think you've explained why my Tuner mute, EFX loop and reverb are not working from the footswitch. In the Roadster manual it states that it is a 8 pin cable, I wonder why there is only seven in your cables, maybe it's typo.

I'll let the Mesa dealer know that i think I may have found the problem, that just leaves the 3rd channel popping noise and noisy fan to fix assuming the Roadster uses a fan for cooling because something is whining away in the amp.

Thanks

My third channel pops a few times until it has been on for about ten minutes. There is no fan in the head version, I can only guess it would be the same for the combo. The tranny can hum slighly but that's about it.

I recently added the resistor required in the early Roadsters , so i had the chassis out and there is indeed a fan! It is a bit noisy if you are in your living room with the volume low, but you can't notice it at louder volumes. I haven't figured out how to turn it off for recording yet...

ursinus - Recording is exactly why I want the fan to run quieter, mine seems to rattle and buzz sometimes.

You can by high spec PC case fans that a very quiet in operation..
