Footswitchable boost 18w Plexi (Trinity)

Post by Bigdaddie »

Hey all,

First post here! I'm currently building an 18w plexi based on the Trinity schematic. I would like to operate the boost via footswitch instead of the toggle. Can anyone steer me in the right direction with a suitable layout to achieve this?

Thanks so much!

hello
here's an interesting pdf about switching systems type and application you might find useful.
London-Power-Switching-Kits.pdf
i was thinking you might be able to use a similar method as the 18W 1974X tremelo that feeds off the grid input and your boost feeds off the cathode so not sure if you could.
anyone else have any idea's?

Welcome Bigdaddie. That sounds like a useful mod. Are you able to post the schematic you are using here? We can all have an input then.

Thanks for the replies thus far.

I should have attached the schematic in the original
