Hi guys, Ted here, it's my first post.
So, I have a GV-15 and I love it to death, however the hardwired footswitch has a bad cable and only works if wrangled into the right angle somewhere along the way. I typically use my reverb pretty cranked all the way through, however I am looking to use the tremolo via footswitch. My thought is to disconnect the lead and the ground coming into the amp chassis from the cable and solder each tip to a jack that I would install. I would probably do the same for the original footswitch so I could just use a stereo cable or such to plug both in.
This seems pretty simple to me, however I just wanted to throw it out there to make sure there isn't anything I am overlooking or should be concerned about. (not sure if there's a way to permanently turn the verb/trem on or off but I would definitely want to avoid that).
Anyways, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
