Hi Ray,

The basic answer is Yes - any footswitch will do - however, there is one condition. The switch must be a 'Break on Operation' type i.e. in the unoperated condition, there must be a short circuit across the Jack Plug. When the footswitch is depressed, the short circuit should be removed.

Some manufacturer's switches operate in this manner but others operate in reverse. I don't have a list of 'who's does what' but from experience, most of these footswitches incorporate a 'changeover' switch which allows you to rewire the contacts if necessary.......

One other thing - the footswitch should be of the non-latching type......
