i am looking for a schematic or layout for a peavey musician series 400 series foot switch. any place i can find one or buy one. it is a six pin din cable.

thanks.

Here is a pic of the switch.
I think you are going to be hard pressed finding a 5 button switch.
Do you need all of the functions?


plen

thanks Jazz P Bass for the reply. the foot switch in that schmatic is for seven pin. i need one for a six pin.

Jazz P Bass

That is a 6 pin male DIN plug.
The drawing of Pin #7 uses a flat line to indicate 'attached to shell'.
It's the braided shielding wire to ground.

plen

are the switches latching or non latching. are they spdt or dpdt.

Jazz P Bass

The Selector switch is SPDT.
The rest are SPST.
All must latch.

plen

thanks Jazz P Bass. i will order 4 spst and 1 spdt latching switches.

i just bought a peavey remote foot switch it has 4 foot switches. it is different from the one for my amp. i also bought a 6 pin din socket to try to rewire it because the one on it has seven pins and no center pin.

Jazz P Bass my amp does not have tremolo. it has fuzz. if i wire the foot switch the same as the layout you posted will fuzz replace the tremolo.

thanks peter.

Not too sure what amp you have.
The Musician 400 schematic that I have shows it having Tremolo.
The schematic does not show a footswitch activation for Distortion, just Fuzz. (Pin #1)
The manual states that pulling Pin #1 low (activate Fuzz) turns on Distortion/ Fuzz.
You might want to call Peavey and ask for the correct schematic.

Here is a pic of the Musician 400.
Does yours look like this?
Rate & Depth are the Tremolo controls.

Jazz P Bass my amp has an extra bit at the right it has 2 knobs and says master. one of the knobs is reverb.

This one?  I've seen it referred to as musician 400 series 210 (it is rated 210watts)
