Fender SWITCHBOARD - Editing Footswitch Configurations; FTSW OUT Jack Configuration

13
E. EDIT FOOTSWITCH
The FTSW symbol at the bottom center of the LOOP MODE EDITOR screen is used to congure the conductor
connections made in the FTSW OUT jack when Footswitch FS is pressed. This lets Switchboard control an amp
or other external device that accepts footswitch commands, with seven T/R congurations to choose from.
By default, pressing Footswitch FS activates the FTSW OUT jack’s tip conductor (T). The LOOP MODE EDITOR
can congure the FTSW OUT jack to make any on-or-o tip (T) or ring (R) connection, as listed below:
The function of each setting is explained below using the two-button footswitch jack of a Fender Princeton®
Reverb amplier as an example:
1. TIP SWITCHABLE (RING ALWAYS OFF): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s vibrato (T) on/o while the amp’s
reverb (R) remains o in both positions.
2. RING SWITCHABLE (TIP ALWAYS OFF): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s reverb (R) on/o while the amp’s
vibrato (T) remains o in both positions.
3. TIP SWITCHABLE (RING ALWAYS ON): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s vibrato (T) on/o while the amp’s
reverb (R) remains on in both positions.
4. RING SWITCHABLE (TIP ALWAYS ON): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s reverb (R) on/o while the amp’s
vibrato (T) remains on in both positions.
5. RING AND TIP SWITCHABLE (INVERSELY): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s reverb (R) and vibrato (T) on/
o inversely. This means that when Footswitch FS is on, the amp’s tremolo (T) is on and its reverb (R) is o;
when o, the amp’s tremolo (T) is o and its reverb (R) is on.
6. RING AND TIP SWITCHABLE (UNISON): Footswitch FS turns the amp’s reverb (R) and vibrato (T) on/o
simultaneously.
7. TIP MOMENTARY SWITCHABLE (RING ALWAYS OFF): Footswitch FS turns vibrato (T) on only as long as
the footswitch is held down. This setting can be used as a tap tempo with compatible outboard gear.
8. RING AND TIP ALWAYS OFF: Footswitch FS does not turn on reverb (R) or tremolo (T) in either position.
To change footswitch conductors, select the FTSW symbol to open the EDIT FOOTSWITCH screen; use the en-
coder or footswitches to scroll through the connections described above and make a selection.
