Description

SKU ZAER11

AER Amplifier Footswitch Controller to suit the AER Acousticube 3 amplifier. FEATURES: An eight-pin DIN cable connects to the supplied Acousticube two-button footswitch, allowing remote selection between the two user-stored effects in the memory one and two slots. Effects are stored by dialing up the one you want on the amp's rotary encoder and simply pressing the pot in towards the chassis. While one footswitch toggles between programs, the other activates or deactivates either the internal effects processor, via a short tap, or the Effect 2 loop, via a longer press. Very clever, and far more intuitive to use than to describe! The footswitch also features a couple of controller inputs giving access to a VCA in each channel. A simple 'shorting' footswitch will act as a channel mute here (although, cleverly, the tuner output stays active), or you can use a volume pedal. There's nothing in the documentation to suggest an optimum pot value, but my empirical messing about settled on 22k Log as the best combination of offering both a progressive taper and ensuring no loss of volume when the pot is fully turned up. The nearest off-the-shelf component is an Ernie Ball 25k 'line' pedal which worked well enough, although I felt that the usable range was too concentrated at the toe-end compared to using the same pedal in-line with the signal. Both channels can be controlled together if only channel one's jack is connected, or separately, using two pedals. There's also a neat trick you can try when using an external processor in the Effect 2 circuit: if you return the effect only to channel two (using channel one as your primary signal), the VCA foot volume on channel two then acts as an independent effects level control.
