Brand new out of the box and the footswitch is broken. Owner wants me to
replace the switch rather than returning to the importers for a
replacement.
While in there try and sort out what apparently is an age-old problem

with
such external reverb boxes. Set guitar , amp and reverb for clean and

then
excess gain when changing to "dirty" ch. He does not use the second

footsw
so I'm thinking of using that to switch in a preset over some gain

setting
part of the cct - anyone been here before?
Hiding to nothing?




Why not just simplify things immensely and swap the second footswitch,

that
is not used, for the broken one.


Gareth.




I'm replacing the used one with a different make as both show 2 to 4 ohms on
some connections. A few ohms variation on a preset of a few k probably would
not matter for a clean/dirty gain switch. There is obviously a duff batch of
these YIS ones, will remove and open up one today
