Hello all - I am just getting back into real tube amps after a few years in the modelling world (line 6 helix) - I've previously owned a Mark V, JP-2C and a mini rectifier. I sold most of my gear, and just wanted a nice simple tube amp - preferably a Mesa, but had to have something that wouldn't set me back too much.
So my local music store had a Rect-O-Verb 50 combo amp for a good price, and I grabbed it. I remember wanted the head version (minus the reverb) a while back - and I am very very pleased with how this amp sounds. So glad I found it as I almost got a Marshall combo because I didn't see the rect-o-verb at first, and all the other Mesa gear was out of my price range.
I do have one issue - the footswitch doesn't seem to be operating properly. I plugged the cable into the amp and footswitch - the solo button seems to work, I haven't tested the reverb button, but the channel button doesn't seem to do anything - although, if I change channels manually with it the light changes from red or off on above the channel selection switch.
Any ideas what to look for? I read the manual, but there was little information on the footswitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a great amp but not having a working footswitch would be a deal killer and I'd have to return it.
