Hi All Express owners,
I am wanting to be able to foot-switch between the 2 x sub channels of the Express's Distortion Channel ie the Blues and Burn modes, which you can only do by hand on the amp face at the moment. I want to do so seamlessly using Blues mode for rhythm playing and burn mode for solos, as after a lot of tube experimentation, I have found a combination that makes both modes sound great for those purposes, without having to use any effects pedals.
There is a Utube (French) of this mod for both the Clean and Distortion Channels. It is incomplete as regards how the marshall footswitch he uses is wired at the plug end. He has used 2 x mono sockets at the back of the amp, so I guess he has put in a splitter in the marshall pedal's stereo plug jack. Here's the link:

But anyway, I dont need to to footswitch operate the Clean Channel into its 2 modes, ONLY just the Distortion Channel between Blues and Burn.
My question is.... would a Boss FS6 Dual Footswitch do the job ? I have one, never taken out its box, and cant recall why I bought it. I hope I can use this Boss pedal to switch between Blues and Burn modes silently when my amp tech has bypassed (or doubled up) the mini toggle switch on the front of the amp, and fitted a socket to the back of the Express amp for this Boss FS-6 pedal.
Anyone able to give some advice on this?
Thanks,
Don
