VOX AC30 CC2 custom foot switch

[mrjlkelly]

Greetings y'all,

The Vox AC30 CC2 has your standard TRS latch foot switch to turn on/off Reverb and Tremolo. I've got the amp reverb always on and a RV6 on my board for extra reverb when I need it. Unlike a lot of people I actually really like the tremolo on this amp but I don't have anywhere near enough room on my board to shove a big bulky foot switch. I watch to get made a mini footswitch that will just control the tremolo, but I need to know whether the Tremolo is controlled by the tip or the ring of the TRS jack.

Any of you good tele slingers out there able to help me out here.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Jim

When you plug in the footswitch there are two clicks, right?. Try pulling out the footswitch one click from fully inserted and see which switch changes what, that will tell you that whatever the tip switches in that position is normally switched by the ring. Am I explaining this right?. I think this might work, or if you have a regular single switch, with only T/S, try that and see what it switches. Just thinking off the top of my head here.

I don't sling a Tele, but I think I remember working up a schematic for the CD series foot switch..... I'll get looking.

Tremolo connects to the Ring circuit.

Thanks guys, it appears that Tip is reverb and Ring is Tremolo.
