silly beta lead head question

[Anonymous]

I use a beta lead head.
I use one channel, therefore one input.
I have tried plugging into the both input channel jack..
and I get nothing...
do I need the footswitch to activate this?
or should it automatically activate?

also can I run both channels at once?
a seperate instrument cord into both inputs?
runing it this way:

-------------------------------/channel one
guitar > a/b/y splitter <
-------------------------------\ channel two

so I can basically change channels w/o the real sunn footswitch...
does that make any sense?

also ... I am looking for the real 3 channel beta lead (non-bass) footswitch if anyone has a lead on one.

please pardon my newbie-ness and thnx.

Without the footswitch, both channels should be activated when you plug into the both jack.
