Footswitches
Your ODS will be provided with either: a 2 button standard, 4 button "Artist" , or 6
button "Artist Plus" footswitch depending on your purchase selection.
Standard 2-Way footswitch:
Connects via ¼" phone cable (supplied) to rear panel input. Left button controls
Clean/Overdrive switching, Right button controls Reverb on/off.
"Artist" 4-Way footswitch:
Connects via 5-pin "MIDI" cable (supplied) to rear panel input. This footswitch allows
remote control of 4 functions: mid-boost, gain-boost, overdrive/clean channel
switching and reverb on/off. The artist footswitch requires: HIGH, MID, OUTPUT front
panel controls be pushed IN (off) for the footswitch to operate these functions. When
an LED on the footswitch is lit, that function is ON, except REVERB (Reverb is muted
when LED is lit). The amp/controls function normally without Artist footswitch
connected.
"Artist-Plus" 6-Way footswitch:
Same connection to ODS as Artist footswitch. The "Artist-Plus" 6 function footswitch
provides the same remote functions as Artist yet adds: Effect Loop bypass and
System "mute" functions. The artist footswitch requires: HIGH, MID, OUTPUT front
panel controls be pushed IN (off) for the footswitch to operate these functions. When
an LED on the footswitch is lit, that function is ON, except REVERB (Reverb is OFF
when LED is lit). When using loop bypass function, it is important that the loop levels
(return/send) be adjust so volume with/without effects loop engaged remains the
same. These levels can be intentionally different to permit a level changes (as in
rhythm or lead). The main purpose of the Effects Loop is to match pedal or rack level
devices to the amp correctly, not to achieve higher amounts of gain boost. The
amp/controls function normally without Artist-Plus footswitch connected.
