 I just acquired a used HT-20 and the footswitch was lost by the original owner. I was hoping I could get a schematic of the footswitch to diy my own.
Would really appreciate any help.

i guess its just a simple mono cable with a single pole switch,that's all you need

I already tried that.... doesn't seem to work. Really need to know how it works.

it probably has an LED and a resistor in series across the switch,that's why,try 1k and a red led.

Solved it. The switch needs to be shorted to ground to switch states. The LED is in parallel to the switch and not in series as with most other amps. Thanks for the help!
