For amp channel switching, if you have a standard ¼” guitar cable style
footswitch, you will be able to use a standard guitar cable from your amp
to set up the Slingshot remote control.
If you have an amp with a ¼” TRS dual function footswitch that switches
channels and turns the reverb on, you should use a balanced cable with
¼” TRS connectors. In this case, you may have to toggle the tip and the
ring with the remote output assign switch so the amp channel change
occurs.
Remote Output Assign Switches
The Slingshot remote output uses three control switches for configuring
the Slingshot output. The Tip or Ring select switch is designed for amps
with TRS type dual footswitches that have two functions such as chan-
nel change and reverb. This lets you select the function you wish to
toggle from the Loopbone without having to rewire your cable.
The ‘latching or non-latching’ switch lets you select between the two
most common switching modes used on amps today. Latching systems
are most often found on vintage or vintage style amplifiers whereas non-
latching or pulse switches are found on newer amps that have electronic
switching.
The footswitch selector switch is used to assign Slingshot to one of the
three Loopbone footswitches. For instance, if Slingshot is assigned to
the loop-1 footswitch, you could switch your amp’s channels when you
engage loop-1. Or if you wish, you could assign the Slingshot to the
Power Boost footswitch so that when you hit the boost, Slingshot could
turn on a reverb or a rack-mounted delay.
Single footswitch with a ¼” mono plug.
Dual footswitch with a ¼” TRS cable.
