EXT (External Control) Jack

Use a TRS three-button external/auxiliary switch (such as the DigiTech

FS3X) to

remotely control the Superego+ footswitches. To connect the external switch,

unplug power from Superego+, connect the external switch to the EXT jack and

then apply power. If you’re handy at DIY, you could build your own footswitch

based on the following circuit diagram:

The switch connected to the TIP+RING of the external footswitch behaves like

the BYPASS footswitch. Use this control to remotely switch the Superego+ on

and off. This switch will also control triggers in LATCH mode.

The switch connected to the RING controls the EFFECT footswitch. This switch

can be used to remotely turn on and off the Superego+ internal effects.

The switch connected to TIP works as a MODE selector and an EFFECT off

switch. A single press is the equivalent of double tapping the BYPASS footswitch

to enter bypass when the Superego+ is in SUSTAIN, AUTO, or LATCH mode. To

change modes, press and hold the TIP+RING switch; the Superego+ will slowly

cycle through the 5 modes. Release the footswitch to select the currently lit

mode.

USING A SINGLE EXTERNAL SWITCH WITH A ¼” TS CABLE

When using a single external switch with a ¼” TS cable (standard guitar cable),

the switch will have the same functionality as the onboard BYPASS footswitch.

USING EXTERNAL CLOCK TRIGGER WITH A ¼” TS CABLE

You can also use a clock signal to trigger the Superego+ BYPASS function.

Connect the clock signal to the TIP of the EXT Jack. Each negative-going clock

signal present at the TIP connection is equivalent to pressing the BYPASS

footswitch. The nominal amplitude for the clock signal is 0V to 5V. The

Superego+ is triggered by the falling edge of the clock signal.
