Hey guys, had a bit of a clean up disaster after a gig and I lost my footswitch in the chaos of it.
But granted that the stock switch/cord was way too short anyways I was wondering if anyone has done anything about aftermarket footswitches to replace their stock one.
I would like to run a footswitch with my Pedal Snake and get one that has a 1/4inch jack, but I'm not sure where to begin.
Anyone with experience on this? Anytype of universal footswitches I could look into, and what I should look into?
Thanks a lot guys!

That's not always the case. Different manufacturers use different types of switching for their amps and footswitches. There are a couple of different ways of doing it.VENTGtr wrote:Not sure about the Blackstar, but generally, any channel switch should work.
I'm sure you could probably order a new one from your newest Blackstar dealer. Apparently Blackstar have listened to customers, and the footswitch comes with a longer cable now. From what I've read anyway. I'd talk to your nearest Blackstar dealer anyway.
True. Hence the "generally". If there's a 1/4" end though, decent chance it'll work. I probably have a dozen footswitches sitting around...somewhere. If have time in the next day or so will try out a couple on one of the Blackstars.LonePhantom wrote: That's not always the case.

Only ones handy are a few Carvins...though my "main" switch uses and XLR end...Guess the others are 1/4", though....and I think a Peavey that I got from somewhere.

with the original lead for the footswitch being painfully short.
I immeditley installed a 1/4" socket into the footswitch, so then I could use any length guitar lead to plug in.
