Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 Sorry to be dense here, but lemme back up: You want to control the FX return knob because the output of different combos of FX boxes and/or selections aren't the same. It seems like there are two ways to go about doing this:Rip apart a volume/rheostat pedal and rip appart your amp head. wire the loop in the pedal in place of the wires connected to the FX return knob. Put a volume pedal as the last link from your FX network and plug it into the FX return. Set the FX return knob to a "happy medium setting." Adjust the volume pedal knobs to similar copacetic settings. Frob the pedal when you switch effects.The nice thing about option 2 of course is that it involves no ripping apart, soldering, or voiding of warranties. Is this not what you're looking for? Confused,Buffy Quote

Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 Porque? I'd love to understand what the problem is you're trying to solve! Curiously refreshing,Buffy Quote
Queso Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Posted March 3, 2005 well i just want to turn the fx level knob on my amp into a foot pedal. simply-hard-to-do as that Quote
Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 Fair 'nuff... Also, as I recall you're in the Bay Area: try calling Leo's Pro Audio in Oakland. They have really good contacts for people who do this kind of thing for a living who might help you out for not a lot of money.... Good luck, Mr. Phelps! Fortune Favors the Bold,Buffy Quote
