I have a generic tip to ground latching footswitch that I connected to the reverb jack under the chassis.
Initially it didn't work. The reverb would never come on I checked the pedal with a multimeter and according to the multimeter the pedal worked fine.
So I grabbed a regular patch chord and plugged it into the reverb jack. I used a penny to short it. With the cable it was working fine. When shorted, no reverb. When not shorted, I got reverb.
So I took my pedal and disconnected the led in it and wallah, it worked fine.
For some reason the presence of the LED was enough current flow to make the reverb not work.
Kind of sucks because I like having the light letting me know it's on or off immediately before having to hear. I guess I could pull apart the ED footswitch and see what type of LED's and resistors they are using in there. I would guess they would work on the reverb as well.
