Concert Lead distortion issue?
« on: March 20, 2011, 10:06:36 am »
Was playing through a friend's concert lead yesterday and we couldn't get the distortion to work. Is the footswitch necessary to engage the distortion?  He didn't have a footswitch for it, and the distortion pot had no effect when turning.

I did a search.

What I found was that the footswitch controls distortion but no specific answer on whether the distortion can be used at all without the footswitch.

Would appreciate an answer that covers that point.

To get the distortion to work on my silver faced concert lead I cut the end off a RCA cable and plug it in to the left side of the distortion footswitch jack.  I also think this engages the volume boost.

close but not quite right - short the center contact to the outer contact of the RCA jack..........
