Single powered latching footswitch

Post by GAS KING »

Which single button footswitch with LED can be powered by a 9v adapter?

Apparently my AOR can have a footswitch without a LED, unless its powered by battery or adapter.
(I'd prefer to avoid batteries)

never seen one, TBH. you could make one pretty easily, though.

if your amp has reverb, you'll need a two button switch to make channels & verb footswitchable.

here's a plan: fuck the LED. it should be pretty clear if the OD is engaged or not.

otherwise, deal with batteries or rig up an adapter.

people overcomplicate really simple shit sometimes, man.

This guy makes fantastic products! I had one of his A/B/Y pedals and it was very nicely constructed!

Yep, both fit the bill! Thanks!


Can't be that hard to build one..........I pretty much have all of the parts in my parts bin......just not smart enough to figure it out on my own.

Dude I have a single latching boss pedal. Works on my fish but I need a fs6 to access all the channels


Buy a fs6 and we can workout a trade plus cash on my end.

That looks like a lot of work for a channel switcher

EBay, boss fs6


Do it

How about you buy one, and I don't buy your footswitch?

I'm making one......screw that.

You're just going to flip the amp anyway, so don't worry about it.

Actually, I don't think I will. It really fits what I've been looking too do. huge fuzz style high gain without pedals.
It really does sound cool and the band is pretty loud, so that won't be an issue.
Practice next week. can't wait.

I think the only time I wouldn't use it, is if I needed a pristine clean.....but I've got the JTM and Super Reverb for those situations. The TOL100 will work well if I need a lot of different rock tones (cover band)
I typically don't write heavier music when I'm jamming alone at home.

I know you're dicking with me, so fuck off. :D

I don't really flip anymore.....well, amps and guitars anyway.
Pedals....different story.

Have had the AOR on my list for a VERY long time. had a 30 combo a while back.....so I knew the tone and feel would work for me.
Tried to buy 1 of 2 AOR 50 heads at Twin Town in MN a couple months ago, but both were in pretty rough shape, and decided against it.........got some pedals instead.....both of which I still have.

This is just a long time coming. The footswitch will bring it all together, even though the Line selector works pretty well too.

Me either.

You're stuck in HC mode 3 years ago.
If you called me out then, you'd probably be right.....but I've changed.
I still look at gear all of the time, but the urge to buy big items is gone. Not as many deals to be found....which was my main reason for flipping. makin' monies.

Re: Single powered latching footswitch

serious question.

following this formula
http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/re ... -for-leds/

I'm showing that I need a 288 ohm resistor? (or 330 as a common value)

9v - 1.8v led = 7.2v

7.2v/.025A = 288

I'm assuming a 220 ohm resistor just make the LED brighter?
