Mark5 Footswitch schematic

[kiff]

Hi, long time since I've lurked here

I'm looking for the schematic for the m5's footswitch. I want to activate an external effects loop to add a compressor for the clean channel. Not sure how much logic is in the footswitch, so it might not be as easy as using an optocoupler on the LED's power, but I figure it's worth at least looking at it, but can't make google produce the schematic

TIA

Sure there's a pinout for the footswitxh connection on the board here somewhere? Worth a look if that might help.

I posted a copy on here and don't know where it went but it's in one of the threads. There is so much **** in that pedal, I highly doubt it could be modified. **** ton on tiny relays & all that good stuff. It's packed.

Thanks guys, I don't really need it anymore since I went back to my my mark4. I still wanted the functionality, but I opted for a less intrusive option. I made a looper that's light activated with a light sensor that's velcro'd to the footswitches channel's light

(this video was still on the mark5 and before I added velcro)

Cool, works well, dunno if I'd trust it on stage though

That's pretty interesting.

Haha yea I was a little skeptical at first, but I put some effort into that. Heat shrink tubing around the photodiode's leads, vecro'd to the footswitch and then a strip of electrical tape over that. Used some fairly thick speaker wire to a 1/4" jack to the unit. It holds fine. About a dozen rehearsals and 3 gigs so far, not a single hick-up
