[bassbanger]

I have a beta bass and i was wondering where i could get a footswitch for this amp at?

Make one yourself. If you have the diagrams for the amp I can draw up the circut for ya easy enough unless it is just a pedal and a switch that needed then its really simple.

Many diferent brands/models of amps can use most any brand of foot switch. If your amp just has 1 single foot switchable future, (like just to turn the EQ on or off for example) you just need a single button pedal.

If your amps foot switch plug-in jack is just like a guitar cord type, then you'd need your pedal to have the very commonly used 1/4" TS (or tip-sleeve) style plug.

Most dual button pedals (that control 2 diferent amp functions) have a special plug called a 1/4" TRS (or tip-ring-sleeve) style plug that kinda looks like a regular guitar cord plug, but has a 3rd conductor around the plugs shaft called the ring.

Some amps require a special plug style (or even pedal) but these are fairly rare.

Does your amps manual (or its foot switch jack labeling) offer any info or clues?

Here's a link to one like I think your amp might use:

Here's a search link to a bunch of switching pedals:

Some amps require a special pedal or plug style but these are fairly rare.

The Sunn is one of the rare ones. I sold my footswitch last year and it has a plug that looks like this:

The footswitch has a couple of resistors and LED's inside. Over at the Sunn board I documented what I think the parts are for the connectors.
