Great video, I didn't pay attention to one important thing - here's a tip to learn from my mistake. I wanted to center the switch and jack. I didn't double check if the internal parts of the jack and switch would run into each other before I drilled the holes. The centered holes on my enclosure will not work, as the jack and switch don't fit, and now I will have to get a little extra crafty... So, the video's off-centered holes are a good idea!

I think you can do this without the jack. Just solder the hot and the ground wires of a guitar cable with a jack plug to the logs of the foot-switch. Put some rubber ring around the hole in the enclosure where you have placed the jack - for cosmetics and to avoid the metal cutting the cable - and you're done. Easier to fit in the pedal board (no jack plug) and cheaper (if possible). Can you confirm?

Hi. Thans for your answer. What you did mention is my original plan. The only thing is that I found that my amp uses a DOUBLE DPDT SWITCH, two switches to change channel, and both are wired in the circuit board. I don’t understand why they did use a single spst switch, this would make It easier to wire my control pedal. I am planing to add a spst to each dpdt and try. Any comments are welcome. Thanks SJ
