RG100-ES channel LEDs lit without a foot switch...

Ever wished you could have the RED or GREEN channel LEDs lit on your RG100-ES when you don't have the footswitch or just don't want to use the footswitch...?

Well...here's how...
[See photos attached below.]

On the rear panel where you would normally plug the footswitch in...you're going to install a small jumper wire. For the RED channel the jumper wire goes from the center right to the top right, and for the GREEN channel the jumper wire goes from the center right to bottom right.

OH!!! And here's a BONUS!!! If ya wanna completely shut off the green channel. Just jump the top left to the middle left (see last photo), and the green channel is completely shut off. NO MORE BLEED!!!!

That's all there is to it!! :dbtu:


ENJOY!!!

Can you switch channels without the footswitch or are both channels always on?

Without the footswitch I'm afraid both channels are always on. And there is no other way to switch channels except from the front panel...unfortunately.....sorry.

Scratch that. There IS a way to completely shut off the green channel when using the RED channel without a footswitch. See my post about turning on the channel LEDs without a footswitch, and you'll see how to accomplish this mod.

There is a way to completely shut off the green channel when using only the RED channel without a footswitch.

See my post regarding the channel LEDs and you'll see how to completely shut off the green channel when using the RED channel without a footswitch. It's an easy mod.
