Hello
Can any one tell me the proper wiring for a footswitch for a Fender Super Reverb amp. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

The vintage Fender amps use this style of footswitch......

The RCA plug with the braided stainless-steel jacket soldered to the ground connects to the reverb jack.

Hello Arjay
Once again thanks for the information. Can you tell me where I might pick one of these up. I do have several other Fender footswitches, and I was thinking of using one for the Super Reverb amp. Can you show a picture of the bottom of the switch with the cover off, as I might be able to rig one up.

Thanks
John

Ebay always has a nice selection of Fender footswitches -- that's where I usually get mine.

Sorry but that's the only pic I have at the moment.

I know it's fashionable to bash the USPS (I'm guilty of it as well) but overall, they really do a pretty good job on average.
