What was the original footswitch jack in the K200-A3 head? Was it a male or female three-pin XLR? I have one on the way but the jack has been removed from the back panel and I'm not sure if the three male pin plug that is still connected inside of the chassis is original (and just missing the outer body) or if I need something else to bring the head back to spec.
Does somebody have the schematic for the proper hookup of the switch terminals or know what pin should be which effect?
Thanks.

Hi milo,
For the K200A-2, K200A-3, and K200A-4 footswitch you need a 4-pin female XLR plug.
(The jack panel-mounted in the rear of the amp is male. Normally the jack is mounted so that the pins are at the bottom.)
The pins of the jack are:
pin-1 Trem/Vib
pin-2 Boost
pin-3 Harmonic Clipper
pin-4 Reverb
Grounding a pin makes the effect active.
The original footswitch used a 4 conductor shielded (XLR) cable. The shield was used as the ground connection to the pedal.

I have several of the switch craft XLRs, silver plate with blue female pin area.
They are not narrow, but taller than your normal square panel mount XLR, well some look narrow due to the fact that the plate mount does not have a beveled edge. But the mounting holes are still in the same location.
They are about 1 3/8ths tall X 1 1/32 wide.
You can have this one, just PM me so we can figure out a way to get it to you.
