Mesa Boogie Lonestar footswitch

[Renegadrian]

Gents, a person I know would want me to build him a footswitch for the mentioned amp...something like this with the channel and solo switches. I googled a little and coulnd't find much info about it...can you give me some clues on the switches I have to use (mom/latching) and how to wire the leds.
also I see a sigle output on the footswitch I linked, while the amp has two separate jacks for the due functions, so my guess is that you have to use a stereo Y cable to use it!? Else I'd have to get two jacks from the footswitch, as they are separate.
thank you! And happy new year!!!

Look on the front, next to where the gitar plug goes.

You switch by short-to-ground, with wire or one LED.

wow thank you Paul! Yeah as I wrote I did google a little but maybe I didn't search enough or the topic was not so clear, so sometimes is good to ask for help...I'm on Firefox, so no problem in visiting that site you linked...

thank you again and...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, just out of curiosity... does this act like my Peavey switch I made, where the Chorus is on when the connection is broken (LED is off)? It's so weird to me to have that one box like that, lol. I can't complain, though... a bit of sheet steel, a switch, a jack, and a LED. No battery to deal with, and I still have status indication... and a slightly annoying chorus.

some footswitches I've seen has a LED and resistor straight between tip and sleeve, and the switch is shorting them booth to ground. that way you have the LED on when the switch is open. perhaps that is the type you need?..(Marshall did it that way on some models)
