of the switch. Hence, you don’t step on Ch 2B again to turn it off. The only switch where 
that is true is the Boost switch. Rather than trying to “turn off” Channel 2B, just select the 
channel you want instead. 
 
Note: the front panel switches will override the footswitch. Hence, for the footswitch to 
operate correctly, all front panel switches must be in the “off” position, which is toward the 
right when facing the front panel. The front panel switches are made to override the 
footswitch in the event of an emergency (probably caused by your bass player). 
 
 
ALTERNATE SWITCHING JACKS 
 
Your amp is also equipped with 3 1/4” alternate switching jacks on the back panel. This 
allows you to control your amp with any device that conducts simple latching tip to ground 
switching functions (e.g., the Diamond Amplification/RJM Music MAC-2, a Bradshaw (Custom 
Audio Electronics) switching system, an RJM Music Amp Gizmo, a TC Electronic G-System, 
a GCX switching system or a simple latching footswitch). The three jacks correspond exactly 
with the front panel switches. 
 
To get the most of your amp if you’re a MIDI kinda player, we recommend our MAC-2, which 
will allow you to use these jacks and switch your amp with any standard MIDI controller! 
MIDI In/Thru also allows you to control your MIDI effects and your amp at the same time from 
one controller. See our website for more detail.
