A DIY Multiverb remote footswitch?

[Pat Deegan]

Hello,

I've got a box, the ART Multiverb III (looks like
http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/blog/images/MultiVerbIII.jpg)
"multi-effects module", which supports some type of remote
operation via a footswitch plugged into the back (the "REMOTE"
plug in the image above, which seems to be a regular 1/4" phone jack)

Unfortunately, I've never had the footswitch and have no idea how its
supposed to work but I'd like to build one... Is there some type of
standard for these foot control switches? Anyone have one available
they'd be willing to put under a 'scope?

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.

TIA and regards,

Hi.
If the jack is a regular mono jack, the pedal would be a regular latching
SDST swith (either on or off)

It seems you are correct. I tried it out using a guitar patch cord and
piece of wire to short the ring and tip and it seems to work.

If I put this into a stompbox, should I use something like an RC to
debounce the switch?

Do you have a manual? I've gotten some from their website. Sometimes
they say what kind of switch it it. I can't imagine it being any more
than a switch that changes patches sequentially (A1, A2, B1, etc) For
that, all you'd need is a momentary switch - like a Boss FS-5U - or,
since you want to build one, just find whatever makes a momentary
switch tick, and take it from there.
