Mark III - Footswitch Question

[ChrisYoung]

Does any one have a schematic (and maybe some photos of the insides) of the Mk III footswitch? I know a simple on/off footswitch will do the job, but I have an old Marshall DSL footswitch with two switches on it, that I would like to convert to use with my Mk III. I wanted to be able to put LED's over each switch so I can see when what is on or off. I heard the Mk III itself will power the LED's on the stock Mk III footswitches. I'd like to have that feature with my project.



Thanks in advance!

Bump, for my question.

You will have to split the trs cable to dual-mono to control RHY-1/RHY2 and LEAD/RHY. It should control EQ on/off and REV on-off as is.

Be advised that the stock configuration is the LED is *OFF* when the LEAD channel is *ON*.

If you look at a Mark III foot switch, it says "RED = Rhythm". Same for the Rhythm 2 foot switch.

If you get a Boss FS-6, you can configure it so when the LED is *ON* it indicates LEAD is *ON* because it has a polarity switch for this, and you can still use unshielded cable for the channel switching.

Downside is the FS-6 uses a 9 volt.

Any foot switch used for the Rev/GEQ function requires stereo (TRS) shielded cable.
