Hi all!
I have a Bugera 6262 all valve guitar amplifier that I've had for some years now.
The amp has 2 channels, clean and lead which can be changed by push buttons on the front panel or more preferably by the supplied footswitch.
The clean channel also has a CRUNCH button on the front panel which IS NOT foot switchable.
The supplied footswitch has 4 pedals; CLEAN, LEAD, REVERB, FX LOOP.
What I want to do is use the FX LOOP pedal on the footswitch to control the CRUNCH button on the clean channel and hopefully leave the FX loop permanently on.
I know this mod can be done because I've seen a demo on YouTube but there is no info on how it was done.
I have the wiring schematic but I can't read it. I'm great with a soldering iron and with the right instructions I'm happy to do this myself.
I do know that the footswitch cable and input jack are 5 pin, I'm guessing a "live" to each pedal and a common ground for all.
The crunch switch on the amp front panel is either a momentary or latching switch (I’m not sure which) with 6 pins.
In theory I believe I can open the circuit for the FX loop at the cable input jack on the back of the amp then run a wire from that pin to one of the pins on the non-ground side of the crunch switch.
Does that sound correct to anyone and if so how do I determine which pin to use on the switch?
All advice appreciated!
Cheers, John.
