Anyone care to tell me what the heck the 4-Pin jack is for on the back of my 150? I've no clue.

Hello. If your amp has built in effects, it should be for the footswitch. I see them every now and then on ebay or in the classifieds. Good luck!

The only built-in effects it has are...
Reverb, tremolo and vibrato.
I can't imagine they would be foot switch contolled though.

Hi,

I have a 250 amp with effects and it has an output for a footswitch, so maybe the output on your 150 is too...
I did some trial-and-error on mine (and has since built a working footswitch).

Tremolo and vibrato are probably regarded as one effect, and the reverb is one.
If You don't have fuzz or selective boost I'd guess You are in need of a 2-switch lighted footswitch that turns Trem/Vibr and Reverb on/off.

I would guess the 4 pins are:
- Power (for lighting)
- Trem/Vibr power
- Reverb power
- Ground

My 250 doesn't have the lighting in the output, but the basic function is that if the circuit is closed effect<->ground the effect turns of, and when effect<->ground is disconnected the effect turns on again.

I have a schematic for the 4-switch pedal if You're interested (if You can't find one and want to make one).
Send me Your mail address and I'll send it...

BR,
/Pete
