I'm trying to build a FS for a 3ch Dual Rec

[speak_onion]

Does anyone know how exactly the footswitch works on these amps, i.e., the pinout of the 8-pin DIN connector to which the footswitch connects? Is there a diagram somewhere?

A friend of mine has a 3 channel Solo version Dual Rectifier that he bought used without a footswitch, and he asked me if I could build him a very small switch that would just switch between channels 1 and 3. I could do this using the External Switching jacks, but that would necessitate 2 cables running from pedalboard to amp, so I'm exploring the possibility of using a multi-conductor cable with a DIN connector (I have some DIN connectors leftover from another project) with the jack for the Mesa footswitch. If I can figure out whcih pin controls what on that mutlti-pin DIN connector, it will be a cinch to use only the pins I need.

If I've not been clear in this, sorry, I guess it is a little bit of a weird request. Hopefully someone knows what I'm blathering about.


I see that the FS connects by an 8pin DIN connector

yea but it would only require one cable from the footswitch to the amp if you use the external jacks and set the head to default onto channel one on the back switch where it says select channel
