Marshall MG100DFX Footswitch

    I have a Marshall MG100DFX amplifier with the standard two button footswitch (1 for channel and 1 for effects). On the 100DFX there are 2 main channels, with 2 channels in each.

    Channel 1 - Clean/Crunch
    Channel 2 - OD1 / OD2

    The standard footswitch selectes between channels 1 and 2, but i cant switch between clean and crunch or OD1 and OD2 on each channel with the footswitch, there are buttons on the amplifier to do it, but thats just a pain in the ass while playing a gig.

    My question is, does anyone know if there is a footswitch that i can buy that will do this for me?

    Cheers

    No, not possible without modding the amp. For what it's worth, the manual switch would need to be replaced with an input jack and a single switch footswitch would do the trick then. The likes of Martin Nolan could do that kind of work for you.

    Martin could do it, but for the price you'd pay on modding an amp like this it wouldn't be worth your time.

    Your best bet would be to get an overdrive pedal or a distortion pedal and just use that rather than a footswitch.
