Hello all!

I have had the OTS Lunchbox since they first came out. It's kind of turned into my go-to, all-purpose amp with a basic little pedal board and a 1x12. Lately I've been wishing that I could fit the footswitch on the board, but I have no way of making room for it. Also, I would like the option to have a longer cable.

I would like to be able to use a mini Vox-style, 2-button footswitch with the OTS. I could really even get away with just a 1-button switch for the clean/dirty. I have found (what I think to be) 5-pin DIN-to-TRS converter cables, but I've seen a few sites that claim that it's not a standard 5-pin. Is there anything I could buy to make this work? If not, is it possible to make something (or, in my case, ask my much techy-er friend to make it for me)?

Thank you.

I'd shoot an email to Nik, he's very helpful and could probably point you in the right direction.

Why an adapter?

Look at the schematics at the ceriatone-website. The 5 pins in the original-plug are just ground, OD, Boost, OD-LED and Boost-LED (ground is in the middle).
If you want to switch OD/clean just connect/disconnect the OD- and groundpin.

Cut the connector of your Vox-footswitch and solder the cable to a 5pin-Midiplug.

That's all.

Good luck
Andreas
