3PDT Amp Footswitch Help?

[humptydumpty]

I have a diagram for a peavey valveking 100 footswitch, but was wondering if it could be downgraded to one switch with one LED, to notify which channel is on.

I will post the wiring diagram if it is needed.

I will post the wiring diagram if it is needed
 We like to make our wiring diagrams feel needed, they do so much for everyone.
 Otherwise it's 20 questions, questionable quality.

Well here it is, sorry i didnt label it, but it goes like this from top to bottom (open-ended lines)
1. sleeve
2. ring
3. tip

Maybe something like this?



...don't know if it will work... depends on how the amp is designed

If I understood your question correctly, you want to reduce a 2-function foot switch to a 1-function foot switch.

This can be done with a single SPST by removing the other part like so:


You can always treat yourself to a 3PDT, but a SPST is all you need.

If the wrong function is selected, change your tip/ring wiring.

If the wrong option is selected for the other function that you don't want on the switch, then play around with your stereo/mono jacks until you achieve what you want.

no im trying to add both switches into one, so there is no need for two switches

bump?

Two one-way switches offer FOUR possible settings:

off-off
off-on
on-off
on-on

There's no standard foot-switch to do that.

There used to be switching that worked like a motorcycle shifter. Each click ratchets into another gear. While bikes should not do a 4-1 shift easily (roAAAAAAARRRRRRR!sputt), that's often OK in 4-way audio selection, so the ratchet sweeps 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3... However that was rarely a standard nor cheap part. The only "low price" version I can think of was the head-stepper on an 8-Track car tape player, and that would need re-thinking how the switching goes (probably 3 diodes).

would this work, maybe?
