Hello,
I want to build a switcher for my TC 2290 which has a LED status for weach of the switches. I know how to build the basic switching circuit. [ -- I like to hide spam links. -- ]
I have a question. How to build in the LED status running off a 9v supply? Please guide me. The basic switcher for the TC 2290 is a TC 0050.

Thanks in advance!

Hi & Welcome.. :icon_wink:

As far as I know, TC-0050 is a SMD SPST (ON-OFF) switch..



Any attempt to use it as LED switch will mess the initial circuit.. :icon_wink:

I'm trying to find out the exact placement of TC-0050, but ... :icon_frown:

Welcome!

For clarification, is this the pedal or the rack unit? And when you say "switcher", what do you mean?

If you're wanting to make a small box with a foot switch that can do remote switching for the unit, that MIGHT be pretty simple, especially if the switch is a SPST. If that's the case, you could try this:

Inside the TC2290, desolder the switch from the pads, then solder a wire to each one. Make sure there's a solid connection here; soldering wires to SMD pads can be a bit dodgy. Solder the other ends of the wires to the two lugs of a mono 1/4" jack. Doesn't matter which wire goes to which lug. Find a place on the enclosure to drill a hole and attach the 1/4" jack. Then, build a small box (1590LB should suffice) that has the same setup you built inside the TC2290 (1/4" jack with wires going to lugs of new switch). Stick an SPST momentary switch on the top of that bad boy and you're done! This SHOULD trigger both the switching and the LED, since (I'm guessing) all the switching is done through a microcontroller and grounding the control voltage triggers both functions.

Hope that helps! If that's not what you need, hopefully it'll help someone else 🙃

ahh, well, so it goes. turns out the OP is a spammer, and is about to be seriously whacked. I'll guide you alright, pal, right this way ......
