Question for H&K Rotosphere users

Pete Ballard · Post by **Pete Ballard** » 17 Oct 2003 1:21 am

Does anyone use a remote switch with their Rotosphere? I'd like to find a footswitch or something small enough to mount onto the right side of the steel. Any ideas?

I don't know what is available--especially in a size that is small enough to be mountable and hand-accessible. I made one last week. Pure Radio Shack. Push-button mini on/off switches (not momentary contact), a stereo cord & plug, the switches shorting the tip and the ring, respectively to the sleeve. They are mounted in a 3" X 2" X 1" plastic project box and velcroed to the steel (actually to a Bill Lawrence box I have coming out of the guitar output.) It works well.

Thanks Jon. I'll give it a shot.

Leave it to CrowBear to get me in trouble!!!
I use a two button Peavey footswitch. It's not too compact however. I place it on the floor to the left of my 1st foot pedal. It really works well. It even has the LED lights on it to show how it is set with the H&K. I think any two button switch would work. It needs a stereo output jack on it.
