Title: Foot switch light indicator Help ! Post by: JUN42 on November 16, 2008, 10:39:50 AM Guys, I would like to ask you about my OTS Foot switch.
The operation of my OTS foot switch is as follows : Red light is on - sound is clean. Red light is off - sound is overdrived. Green light is on - sound is boosted. Green light is off - sound is non boosted. Also opeartion of Manual/Pedal switch when I don't join by pedal is as follows : overdrive manual position - sound is clean. overdrive pedal position - sound is overdrived. preamp boost manual position - sound is boosted. preamp boost pedal position - sound is non boost. Are these operation normal? ??? Please let me know. Jun Title: Re: Foot switch light indicator Help ! Post by: Jimmyd on November 16, 2008, 03:06:27 PM The operation of my OTS foot switch is as follows : OK from memory after a late night gig. :-)Red light is on - sound is clean. Red light is off - sound is overdrived. Green light is on - sound is boosted. Green light is off - sound is non boosted. Are these operation normal? ??? Please let me know. Jun Green light is off - sound is non boosted and normal, tone controls engaged Green light is on - sound is boosted as preamp is not engaged Red light is off - sound is clean. (assuming green light is also off) Red light is on - sound is overdriven. Both lights on - screaming lead tone Jim Title: Re: Foot switch light indicator Help !

In my foot switch, Red light is off - sound is overdriven :( My overdrive foot switch seems to function adversely. Please let me know if you know a cause and a solution? Thanks Jun Title: Re: Foot switch light indicator Help ! Post by: hywelg on November 16, 2008, 05:24:11 PM Guys, I would like to ask you about my OTS Foot switch.

Yours does seem to be operating incorrectly tho'. With footswitch connected O/D LED ON= o/d channel selected PAB LEd ON= PAB selected The operation of your switches with no pedal connected is correct. Title: Re: Foot switch light indicator Help ! Post by: nickm57 on November 17, 2008, 03:26:36 AM Just check your wiring to the foot switch jacks, can't remember what I did when I changed the jack style on the foot switch but I got it wrong.
I used a multi meter traced them and tried different combinations till it worked. The foot switch is wired in a weird way. There are 5 wires, 2 for power, 2 for switching and common. If you get one of these out the switch will do what you describe. nick Title: Re: Foot switch light indicator Help ! Post by: JUN42 on November 18, 2008, 03:44:43 PM Thanks Guys,
I found two mistakes and was able to solve those problems ! :chairdance: I found my DIN socket in back panel is upside down. Then I changed and wired it again. (http://www.mtcom.jp/~up/clip/3860.jpg) I thought that the problem was settled in this and I switched on my OTS ... But green light on - clean sound green light off - OD sound red light on - boosted red light off - non boosted I opened the footswitch, and replaced Brown-wire with Yellow-wire from DIN cable to tarminal. (http://www.mtcom.jp/~up/clip/3861.jpg) Thus it was settled entirely. Jun |
