Amp Footswitch Advice Needed

[Hondamagnaryder]

Hi All,
This is my very first post even after doing DIY for many years.

I have a Crate g212xl amp that I just resurrected from busted pots and a cracked solder joint on the pcb, and it is sounding sweeter than ever.

My current situation is that I have had the hardest time finding the channel select/effect footswitch and just decided that I wanted to build it.

I just can't find a wiring diagram that works for it. I have tried many styles and somehow it doesn't work.

I found the schematic for the amp:

and I saw a section that seems like it might be the footswitch, but there are a LOT of components.

I would appreciate if someone would let me know if that is the actual wiring schematic for the foot switch, and can you confirm if it really contains THAT many components, or am I looking at the schematic of the board.

Is this a hard build or an fairly easy one? I have done a lot of repairs that building and soldering, so I am ready for the challenge.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Aloha,
Harold

Ok, As I am studying this schematic it seems like it is the selector circuit, if so, can someone recommend to me a good wiring diagram for a 2 button footswitch for A/B (Lead/Solo) select and Effects (On/Off) using a stereo jack.

Thanks

Change your Flickr privacy settings or post images in an open-for-all server such as imgur.com , because they can´t be seen without login, password and all that jazz.

What else do I need to do here? Did I post in the wrong forum? (Not trying to be cocky in any way...)

You've posted to the right place, sometimes it just takes the people with the answers a bit of time to find the thread. Sometimes no one has the answer to the question you asked. I've had that experience too, which can be frustrating.

I can recommend that you post your pictures to the forum so that external links are not involved.

Your links take me to a Yahoo login.

Unless a schematic turns up, it is fruitless to guess.

Same here - your links take me to a Yahoo login page, not to the schematic you uploaded.

I haven't been able to find a schematic for your amp, and I don't know the Crate product line.

However, I did find this Instructable on making your own Crate foot-switch, and I'll pass on the link in case it's of any use to you: Crate Gt212 Footswitch - All

SOLVED!!!

Well I also found the right schematic also, It was quite a search and while waiting and scouring the internet I found it!!!
So I soldered it up and it is working like a charm!
Thank you to all of those who tried to help this posting noober! LOL

Have a great time DIY'ing

Thank you Gnobuddy!
