Title: Custom built Footswitches in the UK?
Post by: Brow on September 13, 2010, 12:38:08 PM

Hey guys.

After a days jamming with my new Splawn Quick Rod I've decided that (for the forseeable future atleast) I'm going to forego my G-Major in the loop and just use the amps gain sounds and a wah.

I want to use a 4 switch footswitch so that I can have control over Clean/OD, OD1/OD2, Solo Level on/off and Low Gear/High Gear (you can't normally change gears using the Splawn footswitch) but as the amp runs off 2 stereo 1/4" jacks (ring and tip on each) for footswitching, I'm thinking I may need to have something made up.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that may be able to do what I'm looking for?

Thanks.

Craig

EDIT: In the original posting of this people suggested/recommended Martin at MJW Amps, Flynn amps and JuanSolo

+1 for Andi @ MonkeyFX, build 2 switch boxes for me. I recall something about him taking time off though..

Monkey FX was the 1st I thought of apart from Red Onion, but Red Onion appears to have disappeared altogether and Monkey FX is no longer building  :?

As I said in the (deleted) thread from Sunday, I had a MonkeyFX fuzz/boost pedal that was a pile of junk, so I couldn't recommend them.
