Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0

Basically I need to find out what pin(s) relate to the MUTE function on the footswitch connection on the back of the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 heads. I need to find this out so I can get Red Onion to build me a mute switch. TJ from Red Onion doesn’t know what pins relate to what functions and we’ve both looked into it and not found the info we need, but this isn’t really surprising as I’m sure Genz Benz are not going to publish this info as they want people to buy their “Official” footswitch.
I had the official Genz Benz footswitch but I didn’t want the shaping options and it was also too big to get in the bag (f***ing useless American design…don’t get me started).

Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Why not take it apart and have a look at the wiring?

I found this with a quick Google. Can't speak for it's authenticity, but it'd be worth a shot!

[quote]Pinout, schminout Here's what you need:

Looking at the back of the amp at the 6-contact DIN connector, we'll call the single contact at the top of the connector "1", and the rest of them "2" through "6", starting from the left and going counterclockwise around the semicircular arrangement of contacts.

Mute: Short 1 and 3
Low Boost: Short 1 and 4
Mid Scoop: Short 1 and 5
HF Attack: Short 1 and 6

The front panel buttons need to be "out" (not engaged) in order for the footswitch to do its thing.
