Rane does not manufacture or distribute the
optional foot switch. The foot switch needs
to be a passive pull-down device capable of
grounding the TIP, RING or TIP and RING to get
the three possible states. Good choices are the
DigiTech FS300 or GNXFC. To the right is a basic
diagram of a 3-switch foot switch. Three buttons
gives the most flexibility, but you can also use
one or two button footswitches.
