PF500 Footswitch?

[mebusdriver]

Anybody got any info on a footswitch for the Ampeg PF500? There's a footswitch input on the back and I'm wondering what it's for. I somehow ended up in 3 bands in the last two weeks and every one of them are wayyyy different musically. It's be nice to be able to make some small changes on the fly. Thanks!

The footswitch for mute and effects. See page 15 of owners manual.

Awesome. Thanks so much.

Anyone know if the mute function on the Ampeg footswitch is latching or non-latching? I don't need the effects functionality, so I'm thinking of getting a universal switch.

Bringing back this old post. Is the Ampeg footswitch latching or non-latching?

Although I don't own one, I'm pretty certain that the AFP2 has latching switches. They almost always are. Also, I don't think an ON/OFF LED is practical if it's momentary: it would only indicate ON when covered by your foot.

From the manual: On the stereo (TRS) 1/4" plug, the tip controls Mute and the ring controls FX On/Off.

I believe that the AFP1 would work if you just need the Mute function: I don't know what it's doing to the EQ section in this case. Because of the LED indicator, I have doubts that a generic switch would work.

Great thanks! Would you know by chance how they are wired up? Do they latch to ground? Thinking about just making my own small enough to add to my pedal board.

Think I found my answer:
