    Have you tried above? They should keep legacy spares.

    I looked for one of these for a long while with no luck at all. I was amazed that Bad Cat were unable to help, or suggest alternatives. Ended up using an A/B/Y box which does the job really well. IMHO, some of the best Hot Cat tones are found by blending the 2 channels together and this is easy with my little pedal. Throw in an Unleash attenuator and the tones are unreal...

    Hi Reckless1...I think i will end up using the aby box.. I even had my tech go through the circuit to try and figure out what does what but he couldn't make sense of it..

    I can have a look at your one when you've sorted out your house-moving stuff, if you want.

    I really don't like complex multi-pin footswitch connectors. Often unreliable and a massive pain in the backside when something breaks or needs to be replaced…

    I had a look at pics of the footswitch and it seems to have two switches and three LEDs. I can't quite see why a six-pin connector should be needed for that - although I remember that when I had a Bad Cat Two-Tone pedal, the LEDs worked in some sort of odd illogical way (which I quickly rewired to something more intuitive), so it's possible the amp does the same and needs the LEDs powered separately or something.

    I have a list for you when I'm done :)
    Unfortunately my Walker Street house fell through
    (They failed to do then failed to get planning permission for a fairly major modification) after 6 weeks I've walked away so I'm back on the hunt
    It's a bit of a nightmare
