Dubs Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Basically I need to find out what pin(s) relate to the MUTE function on the footswitch connection on the back of the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 heads. I need to find this out so I can get Red Onion to build me a mute switch. TJ from Red Onion doesn’t know what pins relate to what functions and we’ve both looked into it and not found the info we need, but this isn’t really surprising as I’m sure Genz Benz are not going to publish this info as they want people to buy their “Official” footswitch. I had the official Genz Benz footswitch but I didn’t want the shaping options and it was also too big to get in the bag (f***ing useless American design…don’t get me started). Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~tl Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I found this with a quick Google. Can't speak for it's authenticity, but it'd be worth a shot!

Mute: Short 1 and 3 Low Boost: Short 1 and 4 Mid Scoop: Short 1 and 5 HF Attack: Short 1 and 6 The front panel buttons need to be "out" (not engaged) in order for the footswitch to do its thing.
