Latching Foot Switch for Genzler Magellan 800


Recommended Posts

Hi,  bought a Laney FS1 Mini to select Clean and Drive Channels on my Genzler Magellan 800 (couldn't find a supplier with stock of the expensive Genzler.). 

It's a latching switch with an LED which can be powered with a 9 volt supply.   However, the LED comes on without a dedicated supply - I guess it draws power from the amp. 
I have a slight concern which is that, when using the footswitch and the Clean Channel is engaged (LED on Pedal illuminated), the Drive channel selector LED on the amp remains dimly lit.  

Anyone know whether this is a potential problem and, if so is there something that needs "fixing"?   
Many thanks

You know how it is, you muddle through and then think - why don't I ask someone who will definitely know the answer.   Well - emailed Genzler last afternoon and Jeff Genzler replied within a few hours with  all the information I need.    Simple Pedal should work , but if LED'd it needs correct wiring to get the amp LED's to function properly.    And an suggestion that a Genzler 4 On The Floor Pedal might be a good idea.    Of course I can't justify a clever drive pedal ... but it is my birthday in 1 month's time ..............!!  Anyway, fantastic customer service and another great reason to use Genzler Kit (if one were needed).

Spoken like a true addict!

 

Personally, having GAS issues like many on here, I love to think up of justification for a bass related purchase.
