Connecting Foot Switches

You can connect foot switches to the FOOT SW jack.
You can use a dedicated cable (PCS-31L: sold
separately) to connect two foot switches
(FS-5U: sold separately).
The foot switch connected to the black plug is
foot switch 1, and the one with the red plug is
foot switch 2.
MEMO
Alternatively, you can connect a single pedal switch (DP-2: sold separately) instead of the FS-5U. In this
case, the DP-2 will operate as foot switch 1.
