Post subject: Footswitches compatibility Help - Blues Jr/Frontman 65r

Hello all,

I hope you can help me.

I have two amplifiers. A Blues Junior Tweed Special Edition, and a Frontman 65r.

My question is whether or not I can use the 1-button footswitch that came with the Frontman with my Blues Junior (to activate/deactivate the FAT mode). Or do I have to buy the specific one even though it looks the same?

Is this possible? Or would something be blown off if I plug it into my Blues Junior?

Thanks in advance to any help.

Hi rompotoo,

The BJr fat switch only requires a simple switch, open or closed with no LEDs, to operate the "fat" mode. I don't know what kind of foot switch comes with the Frontman 65r, but if is a simple 1-button switch, it should work perfectly on the BJr. Even if the Frontman switch has an LED, it won't hurt the BJr to try it, it just may or may not work. :)

Thank you so much for the response!
The footswith that came with the Frontman is a One-Button thing, no leds, no nothing. If you look it up in the internet, both footswitches look exactely the same, with the difference that the one for the Blues Junior says "Fender".

I'll try and see what happens.

Thank you again!!!

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the clarification. I was really scared to blow my baby Blues Junior!

Thanks, sir.

Keep on rocking. Or bluesing. Or whatever.

Cool, glad it works! 8)

I just noticed that I greeted you by the wrong name, sorry about that midnight.bluesman. I must have responded to rompotoo in another post and still had his name on my clipboard. :oops: :?
