Title: (Midi-)Footswitchable bright-function on HRM 50 Post by: Plato on March 22, 2014, 03:59:05 PM Hello together,
I just installed a simple mod, I'd been thinking about for a couple of weeks. So I thought I should perhaps present it for anyone who's interested in this solution. First, I really like the "Bright"-function, activated by pulling out the volume knob, for clean and "fenderish" chordplaying. On the other hand, I don't like it activated in overdrive-mode. So, I planned to make it foot-switchable. To realize this, I first installed a 12V-relay, that shortcuts the two contacts at the back of the volumecontroller. The relay itself is activated by shortcutting an additional 6mm female plug, I put into the amplifiers backside (see picture: it's the plug on the very right side). This plug is connected with my G-Major (also in the cab), which can be switched with a midi-footcontroller (of course a normal footswitch would work as well). To keep it short: It works perfectly. No noise while switching and my hands free for playing ;-) I added some pictures to show how it's done. http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/temp/amp_top_marked.jpg http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/temp/relay.jpg http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/temp/amp_rear.jpg http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/temp/amp_front.jpg http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/temp/display.jpg Andreas |
