Hi–just got an awesome old Ultra-Lead off of Craigslist and it’s AMAZING, sounds incredible and I’m over-the-moon stoked about it. Only thing is the guy who sold it to me lost the original foot switch and I’m trying to get another–but I’m not sure what year it is and if the modern replacement would work for it. Can someone help me find out what year it is and if the modern Ultra-Lead foot switch on the site would work? Thanks!
Hi and welcome to the community!
You need the PITTBULL FOOT CONTROLLER FC-1
This is out of production, unfortunately. I do not think there is anything complicated happening in the footswitch other than opening and closing switches. In principle this could be DIY-ed using latching footswitches. There might even be a compatible product on the market.
I am checking with the shop…
Dang, OK, I will keep an eye open on the used market. Also please let me know if there’s another compatible alternative out there, I would appreciate it@
Can you please count the number of pins on the footswitch DIN socket? I am checking if they have something…
Were there any modern substitutions out there? or do I just need to wait to see if one pops up online?
Hi
I will ask the shop today and post a reply with some advice…
Awesome, much appreciated!
Hello
I’m really sorry about this – I checked with the shop. Unfortunately this has been discontinued for 20 years and we don’t have the parts any more. We are happy to provide you with a wiring diagram if you would like to make your own controller. The one we currently sell on the website is incompatible with the amp,
Good news!
I had a massive 
this morning. I did a bit more digging and yes, we can make you a new FC-1!
It will be $146 USD + shipping.
Let me know if you want to go ahead.
Amazing!!! absolutely, I’d love to get one–let me know how to go about putting in an order and I’ll be happy to do so–thank you so much!!!
Hi,
I will send you a PM now about how to do this… It is not an item on the webstore so it’s a little different
