  • Randall footswitch question

    Hey dudes! I have an old Randall 2 button footswitch with a 1/4 inch jack. My RG80 combo requires a 6 pinc connector. I do have a new 6 pin in my posession. Is it possible to cut off the 1/4 inch jack and wire up the 6 pin connector or do i just need to try and figure one out from scratch??

    A six prong is called a D.I.N. jack you can buy them online. Doing what you said with a standard 1/4 inch won't work. You can buy one here Hope this helps. http://www.thomann.de/gb/randall_rf4...itch_cable.htm

    This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

      Thanks lefty but the connector looks like this. I may just order this from Champion Pedals. Anyone ever purchased stuff from them?? :think:

        Okay I have that foot switch it's an FS-5. The one in that picture you posted has the same connection as mine but mine looks like the one in the link I'll put in this post. I got it off of Randall after I bought my RG100es half stack years ago. I wasn't sure if the combo had the same connection as the head unit. I would just order it off of Randall. That's what I did. Just to let you know I think I paid $65.00 bucks for it in the early 90's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Origina...item46145f4070
