This looks pretty cool! I wonder, for the sake of cable neatness, if you could open the AB200 up and hardwire the connections. Then you would just have one TRS to the input.
That's a really good idea! It would be a very clean and neat solution. However, the AB200 has TS jacks and not TRS jacks. So that would most probably require replacing one of the jacks of the AB200 first. Don't know how difficult that would be, but it's not unlikely that the jack is soldered to the PCB.

I can disclose that the reference to the FS-6 is in the guide out of more than a theoretical point of view. Bought the thing before examining the pinout of the remote jack. And it really doesn't work ;-)

No, you need a foot switch that switches from one connection to another. A normal footswitch just connects or breaks the circuit of the same connection. So it doesn't work at all, not even if you omit the break function.
-
In case you didn't refer to the switch buttons themselves. They're really just big plastic plates pushing in very small switches mounted on a PCB underneath.

The AB200 is just about 130 mm or 5 inches wide.
The Ventilator itself is around 185 mm or 7.5 inches wide.
And the AB200 has a significantly lower profile, so it actually feels quite small in comparison.

FYI besides the noise-free operation, this solution is also around half the price of the original remote.

I decided to make myself a cheap and silent remote footswitch for the Neo Instruments Ventilator. It worked so well that I made a DIY guide for others looking for a similar solution. If you can connect an instrument cable you can also make this. Enjoy!

Or even my own previous in-thread response about exactly the same product 5 posts earlier. Perhaps I just waste my time trying to document things properly
