Ron, I know this goes back a bit, but I think I am going to just pick up an Amp Gizmo because I have some other things I need switched other than just the GT. Going on this info:
The footswitch connector should be a five-pin DIN, and will look like a standard MIDI connector. The pin functions are as follows:
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: +5 volts (used to power LEDs in the footswitch)
Pin 3: Mean Channel
Pin 4: Effects Loop
Pin 5: Clean Channel
The way this works is pins 3-5 are normally tied to ground. Opening any connection from ground will turn that function on. For example, ungrounding pin 5 will turn on the clean channel. You can mix both channel by ungrounding pins 5 and 3.
Would I be able to get away with only using switches 1, 2 and 3 on the Amp Gizmo to switch channels and the loop (on/off)? I am never going to run both channels at the same time and I won't need to power footswitch LED's. Is this doable? I was hoping to use:
Switches #1-3 for the GT
Switch #4 for the boost on my Dr.Z RxES
Switches #5 & #6 for my Carl Martin Reverbs and..
Switches #7 & #8 for my Suhr Kokoboost.
