Anyone tried to make a Footswitch for Mini Rec Clean/Push sw

I really love BOTH the clean and pushed modes of CH 1.
But, I play live a lot and my amp is not convenient to switch it on the fly.

Wondering if anyone tried to make a Footswitch Mod to switch modes on CH1. Would love to make it more of a 3 CH amp.

(Not too concerned with CH2 as the Vintage to Mod change has a big volume jump and I don't use Modern at all anyway).

Would it be easy to mod without cutting the chassis? (ie: Plug that fits in the existing switch hole.)
Easy to get at the wires?
What switch would tend to be as noisless as possible?

Thoughts

I really like the idea of footswitchable modes in Ch1 of the Mini Rec if possible as Reeko suggested. I agree that footswitchable modes in Ch2 wouldn't really be useable for this amp, but I could certainly see value in it for the Ch1 modes. Could this be done easily?
I look forward to comments from the guru's as well!

I think this would be possible, but you'd have to add a jack for it. The switch is either a SPST, SPDT or DPDT. Any of these are available in a footswitch.

Not having seen the schematic, I wonder if that part of the circuit is high voltage. If so, it wouldn't be safe to send it out to a switch. But it could be isolated by using a relay.

I would actually really like to be able to switch that as well. I just might do it...

Do It Elvis.....and let us know! :mrgreen:

I think this would be a fantastic addition to this amp (and the Dual Rec Multi-watt, too), dramatically improving its functionality in a live situation. If I knew anything about such things I would do the mod myself in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I don't, so here's hoping that a knowledgeable and enterprising soul will figure it out!

I guess no one does the set it a little dirty and roll the volume back halfway thing anymore?

The split second timing of the changes in today's tunes doesn't allow for the leisurely luxury of moving the hand to turn a knob. This is new school.......
