| The Footswitch So you got your first Fender Super Champ? Pretty soon you will start asking around for a footswitch, and I tell you: This ain't easy!! You just can't buy one in a shop, since they don't match the amps designed by Paul Rivera between 1982 and 1986. And if you find an original, you must be prepared to pay 150$ for it. On the net you'll find many different schematics that show you how to build one yourself, but I haven't seen one working yet. |
The Fender Princeton Reverb II Homepage (The princeton uses the same F/S as the SC) How does it work? Yet another diagram over the F/D What does it look like? On the inside The "original" schematic on the Footswitch (mailed to me from Fender!) |
