Today I am back with more useful information. I am going to share how I have my Bugera 6262 wired up to use an external normally open momentary switch setup to control all 3 portions of the amp with a homemade footswitch/Apex 3 button momentary footswitch or Joyo PXL Pro. (or other type of device with trigger controls)
Things you need:
-wire (I used a piece of old CAT5)
[For amp]
-1 1/4" Stereo input jack
-1 1/4" Mono input jack
[For footswitch] (if making)
-3 normally open momentary footswitches
-1 Case/Box/Tin for your footswitch housing
-1 1/4" Stereo input jack
-1 1/4" Mono input jack
[AND] (for homemade or Apex brand footswitch 3 button momentary footswitch)
-2 1/4" patch cables (1 stereo and 1 mono)
[OR] (IF USING JOYO PXL PRO WITH 4 -TRIGGERS)
-1 1/4" mono cable
-1 1/4" stereo to 2 1/4" mono cable (PigHog makes them but I'm sure others do as well. This is to divide your tip and ring into 2 separate mono jacks so that you can have 3 triggers on your Joyo.)
Things to know:
-Green is Tip on the Stereo jack(s) and Clean on the amp
-Yellow is Ring on the Stereo jack(s) and Crunch on the amp
-Blue is Tip on the Mono jack(s) and Lead on the amp (I would've used Red but didn't have it)
-Brown is Sleeve and Ground on everything
-on the amp you are going to be soldering onto the bottom left pin on the momentary push-button switches on the amp's front panel (IT'S ACTUALLY THE TOP RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT BECAUSE YOU FLIP THE CHASSIS UPSIDE DOWN IN ORDER TO WORK)
-the Brown ground is wrapped around a screw in the chassis where it was easy to access (the chassis is grounded)
-MINE IS AN OLDER BUGERA FROM '01 THAT TOOK THE MINI-DIN STYLE STOCK FOOTSWITCH (it is not the newer Infinium but this should be the same either way but has not been tested, you could always use a meter to check which pin on the momentary switches on the amp panel grounds out when you press it...find the correct pin and it'll work)
-this should also work for 6260 but has not been tested
Instructions:
First I took the amp apart and CAREFULLY drilled 2 holes in the back of the chassis next to the stock footswitch jack and mounted my jacks. One 1/4" input jack needs to be a stereo (TRS) jack and one is a normal mono (TS) jack.
Next you do the same for your footswitch and also drill holes and mount the 3 momentary switches.
Then you wire everything up and solder your connections. You can look to the pictures below to help guide you.
Good Luck and enjoy.
(Special thanks to my father for being an electronics service man and helping me figure everything out!)
At the time I took these pics I was 1 momentary footswitch short and had to order more. Lol
