Tech Help - Projects Page / Re: How do I build 2 FS-5U footswitches in a 125B enclosure with LEDs? SOLVED
« on: June 23, 2020, 08:48:15 PM »The obvious lazy answer would be to use two Double Pole Single Throw momentary stomps. Have one side of the stomp going to the footswitch, and the other going to a LED (or LED circuit), with no electrical connection.
Thanks Alan.
Wanted to try that, but having real trouble finding DPST momentary stomps.
Tried using a different switch - SPDT On-(On) Momentary (solder) - but the Softie LEDs and the Katana response (effects loop on/off, external fx footpedal on/off) are out of sync (i.e., the LED is on when the effects are off).
Any suggested fixes or alternatives would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Don't worry! Everyone relax! I've got this one. Solved!
It turns out ... (and I may be the last to know) ... that:
1. You can achieve the hard to find DPST momentary stomp switch's functionality by using one half of each side of a DPDT momentary stomp!! It just requires some time with a multimeter and notepad to figure out which solder lugs provide "NO" function (for Softie) and which ones provide "NC" function (for Katana) ; and,
2. The LED and Katana effects are independent in my application, so if the Katana software has the effect on when you power up the Softie, the light will be out of sync with the effect. Situation solved by saving Katana patches with effects turned off.
