Mark IIB HEAD Footswitch

[stephenphilp]

I just got the Mark IIB HEAD, and have no way to switch channels. I thought my B-52 1/4" footswitch would do the channel-switching, but apparently not.

My question:

Was there an original footswitch Mesa made to pair with this amp?
What footswitch out there would do the trick?

Awesome! Is there one out there that also has the reverb/eq button in addition to the rhythm/lead button?

Basically that's what i was looking for. i've seen someone play the Mark IIB with what looked like an FU-3 footswitch. I was hoping for something like the FU-3

could have been a custom pedal

Ok i guess I will just stick to the Lead/Rhythm switcher.
Any of the after market ones on eBay any good?

I have original IIb footswitch and I could sell it.

You could have build the footswitch yourself if you didn't buy TattooU's footswitch.

All it is a Carling SPST footswitch, Bud or Hammond die cast box you could get at Fry's Electronics and resistor 100k(?), led and 1/4 phone jack.

As for the EQ / Rev footswitch, you need a stereo cable, stereo 1/4" phone jack and Bud die cast box. The jack switch is underneath the channel.

Ok thanks, I did read a few other threads on here about people building them and it doesn't look too difficult. Thanks for the layout.
