Hi electronics Gurus !

I need your knowledges, I friend bought a used dunlop Univibe with the univibe foot controler. The foot controler works fine except for switching of the effect ( when the foot controler is up it should switch off the effect).
We first thought that it came from the switch, but it works perfectly  :icon_confused:
We've checked everything, and didn't found wrong stuffs.
The only strange thing, is where is connected the switch plug. There is two jumpers, and it's plugged into the first one but the middle pin leads to nothing... I join you pics to show these jumpers.






Somebody knows where should be connected the switch plug ?
Is this problem known ?

Thanks


no one ever

Does the foot controller plug into the vibe? if so, i don't see how a switch on the rocker pedal could turn the pedal on/off if it simply uses a 1/4"jack

I had exactly the same thought as you ! But yes it's plugged into the univibe with a  1/4" jack mono....
I've downloaded the manual to check this....
I think it's more complicated than it loocks like. I've opened the univibe but it's a nightmare, I've neverr saw a such complicated stomp box board...  :icon_evil:

JP1 is where the connection goes.  You also need a stereo cable from the controller to the vibe.

Thnak you dosmun, you were right I found a stereo cable and it works perfectly. I was confused cause on the dunlop user manual they talk about a regular  guitar cord to plug the foot controler to the univibe.
Anyway thanks
