Permanent switched modes on 2:90 poweramp?

[Jev0]

The Mesa 2:90 poweramp has 3 switches (jack) to change 3 modes (modern, half, deep). When using Triaxis you connect 3 short jacks and you can control 3 modes via midi through triaxis.
Now, without triaxis, I wonder how can i have some modes switched permanently without a footswitch. I don't want to have 3 different footswitches to switch them.

A fairly simple solution is to get some "shorting" plugs that act like a momentary footswitch when the button is depressed.

I used these when I had a 2:90 and it worked perfectly. I originally got the idea from a YouTube vid where Petrucci's tech used the same part to permanently switch features on his Mark IVs.

That is great!

If you have any amp function switching product, like the RJM RG-16 or Amp Gizmo, you can use this for direct single button control over those settings... and have them under MIDI Control!
