Hi Guys new to the forum, apologies if this has already been asked but does anyone know why the leds in the epi footswitch dont work with my bc30??? Have opened it up and there is wiring to suggest it should...having a channel led change on the amp is great but sometimes forget whether the reverb is on or not on stage!!

I got a generic footswitch and had problems until I changed resistor values... brighter LED's and no more switch problems.

Hi Vexorgtr,

Did you reduce the resistor values? my bands show as brown, black , blue so i think thats 10,000000? I have the actual epiphone footswitch suggested for the BC30.

cheers

Hi MrBert.

Greetings from Spain.
Same issue with my footswitch. Do not touch the resistors, just change the leds. Those leds light fine with 5v, but BC30 is powering the fottswitch with 12v, so make sure you buy 12v leds, replace them and you're done.

I hope it helps.
