Delta Blues 115: Channel & Effects Switcher Pedal?

[kenackr]

Yesterday I purchased a new Delta Blues 115 which is on the way to me now. When I ordered it, I forgot to order the channel & effects switcher pedal with it. I called the selling store this morning and asked if one pedal will plug into the two ¼" jacks on the back that are labeled for that use or if I need to use 2 pedals of the same type. The salesman (who is a guitar player) didn't know so I asked him to call Peavey to find out. The salesman had to leave his number and wait for a call back from PV. Four hours later, still I'm still waiting.

Reading the downloadable manual for the Delta Blues on PV's site showed that both jacks specify the same model pedal, but did not speak to whether the 2 click switches on the pedal box will do the job (one for each function). The picture on the PV site of the pedal box looks like there is only one cable with one male jack on it. This makes the whole thing very confusing with no word back from PV yet. Further, the pedal box identified in the manual by number is different from the number identified on the cut sheet for the amp.

Does anyone out there know whether it takes 2 pedals or 1 ?

I will be 2 pedals. Plugged into the "footswitch jack" the 2 button switch controls channel switching and the other turns the reverb on and off. I never tried the same switch in the tremolo jack.

Email Peavey customer service directly. They are pretty good about responding.

PV PLAYER,

Thanks for your response ! You are correct and I called PV directly before I picked up your answer.
Here's what PV told me in case it ever comes up again:

There are 2 female ¼" jacks on the back of the amp on the Delta Blues. They are both dual function jacks, so 4 functions all together.
One jack is labeled "Reverb/Tremelo" where you can turn on or off both functions.
The second jack is labeled "Channel/boost" where you switch from either channel to the other. The other function, "boost" is an over all increase in system gain for which ever channel you are using or a decrease in gain if you hit the same switch again.

So if you want to control all four functions, you need 2 switch boxes, one for each jack.

These switch boxes aren't very expensive but it would have been nice to have a single four button switch box to minimize clutter & drift.

rogue_one,

As you'll see in a little bit, I actually called PV and talked to them about it. As soon as it's cleared by a moderator, you be able to get the full scoop. Thanks for the response, it's good to know they are good at responding !

My only gripe about the DB is that when you use the tremolo the volume goes way down. Not an issue if you play an entire song with it on but your volume wont be the same if you switch it during a song.

I have one Jack on the back of my DB, and it used to control both trem and channel switch, tech replaced channel switch on top of the amp but the footswitxh still doesn't switch it. He can't figure it out. I also have one other Jack next to it for ext. Speaker.
Any ideas?

Try a different amp tech. Foot switch control circuits are not complex and should be simple enough to troubleshoot.

You could always buy a four button switch for a Stereo Chorus and set it up to use 2 1/4" plugs. I bought one to rewire to make a switch for my Peavey Duel since they don't make new switches for those anymore.
