Mass Effect Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Just got a C30 and notice it has an input jack in the back for a footswitch. Would THIS PARTICULAR FOOTSWITCH be what I should get? I ask this because Sweetwater is telling me a footswitch for my new amp would be a special order item and would cost $40 quote:Originally posted by mdrs: It's pure B.S., and obvioulsy inaccurate.

The Geoff Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 That list of amps doesn't mention your's. G. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the World will know Peace": Jimi Hendrix http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=738517&content=music The Geoff - blame Caevan!!!
Greg B. Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 That looks exactly like the one that I have for my Classic 30. But my C30 is from the 1st year that they were made (1996, I think). If I recall, Peavey pretty much uses that footswitch for almost all of their amps. I would double check, but I'm pretty sure that is still the case. BTW, I love the Pratt-Miller Vette. The company my wife works for is co-owned by the same Miller that owns the company that builds these Vettes. I have been trying to get the hookup for hanging in the pits at one of the races, but no dice as of yet!

Mass Effect Posted July 24, 2006 Author Posted July 24, 2006 Took a chance and bought a switch like the one in the link. Works perfectly. Greg, I'd love to see an ALMS race in person.

European special sure does, gezzz a driver lite one up today out in the Design Office court yard and it shook the windows in the tower!! http://www.thestringnetwork.com
Greg B. Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I have heard that about the Vette, RC. I have a friend that went to Sebring this year, he said that it was really cool, but almost got boring, cause of the monotony. But,he really did like it and had a great time. He also got to go to the F1 race in Indy. He said that it was amazing! As awesome as American V8s sound, he said that hearing a full field of F1 cars pegged at 17000+ rpm is pure music. I'm still a little jealous! Ellwood, did the Viper have mufflers? I'd bet that it still shook the ground even if it had 'em! I tell my wife that even if I was blind, I would still love to go to the drags, for the sounds and the smells! She thinks that I'm a nut! (But she married me anyway!!) Check out this video--I don't care if you like GM, Ford, Pontiac, etc...this is the definition of BAD-ASS!!! http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/vids.html Go down to the one labeled Leichtfuss' '63 LeMans "2000hp Cruis'n".

Mass Effect Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 This vid isn't as outrageous as the engines you guys are talking about but it just sounds fucking killer. 9 second vette I have to watch this clip at least once every time I get on the computer. Listen to that engine! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/evil/105.gif quote:Originally posted by mdrs: It's pure B.S., and obvioulsy inaccurate. I suspect it is posted for effect, not for accuracy.

Rampdog Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I have a Signal Flex SF-FS202 that came with my Classic 30. Single plug goes into my remote switch in the back. Works great for kickin' in my overdrive and/or reverb. I couldn't find it on my web search though... Hmmmmm..... If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music
