So I'm trying to build a Randall FS-5 footswitch. I did some google searches, but there really isnt anything out there regarding clear pictures. I have the plug, schematic of the plug, but its a little goofy to look at, so I figured a few pics would likely help.
 
Is that the two button footswitch with the goofy 6 way plug ? I think I have one of those if it is.
 
Sure do - the red led side is channel selection the green is both channels (why?):)

I ordered some switches the other day and I’ll post and share pictures of my finished product so that others can easily make them. I might try and make one with switches off the plug so you can just flick it to change channels. I have never wanted to use both channels together ?.

I did use a simple wired jumping plugs 2 and 4, but there was still some bleed through.
 
i had one of those back in the day. they work for the peavey 5150 fwiw :)
 
@psychodave Is this the Randall RG-80 and 100 foot switch?

That switch has a combine feature to run both channels at once, so that is likely your bleed. Do you need pics of the inside and outside?

I have pics of the inside above.... I also found something that is color coded, so I may be okay if what I found is good.

@psychodave So do you need a pic of a real foot switch or not?

Thx for posting.
I may have a question about the 6 prong plug. I get the foot switches tomorrow so I will tinker soon.

I had my original six prong plug replaced about 15 years ago after it failed at a band audition. Yeah, I looked real professional on that one...and as you have correctly surmised...no, I didn't get the gig. Something about I couldn't be heard for the solos (stuck in the clean channel).
