Foot
Switch Functions
The Pritchard Amps
Foot Switch is a two feature switch that has a rather unique characteristic.
The two features B & C depend upon which amplifier it is being used
with:

The Pritchard Amps
Foot Switch is in parallel with the momentary switches on the front panel
so that either switches can be used at any time, whether or not the foot
switch is plugged into the amplifier. Additionally, the circuitry lights
the indicators when the Boost is on, the Crunch is on, or the Main Channel
is selected.
The
foot switch circuitry operates FET switches for reliable switching. The
switching pop often associated with FET switching has been eliminated
by special, proprietary circuitry. |
