Relay Switching for the Vox AC15

Has anyone had any success using the relay ports to switch on/off the Reverb & Tremolo on a Vox AC 15? I followed the demo in the video from the website l, in which they were using a Fender Princeton Reverb. So far, those same commands have not worked when programming the pedal through the editor.

Hi! A Google shows that the amp uses a Vox VFS2A foot switch. Further googling from folks building their own suggests they’re latching switches.

Of course, to start you need to run a 1/8” TRS to 1/4” TRS from MC to Vox. Nice amp, btw!

So one preset would need, I think:

Toggle mode active
Msg 1: Press, position 1, “Relay Disengage Tip”
Msg 2: Press, position 2, “Relay Engage Tip”

And the same for the other preset but using Ring instead of tip.

In fact! This thread is basically the same thing I think… Switch Fender Princeton reverb & tremolo with MC6 Pro relay port - #2 by Brandon

Good advice about the bank enter commands in that thread, I think.

This was good advice thank you. I got it figured out thanks to all the feedback that I got on this forum and directly from Morningstar.
