about 3 years ago I sold off that rig only because I got laid off. :/

decided to go marshall this time. recently picked up a 1980 jmp 2203 and a 1978 g12m 4x12 straight cab.

Am I misunderstanding something? I don't understand how someone can use both inputs. The manual clearly states that if both inputs are used the amp switches to normal gain mode (6dB pad). From the manual - "Situations where both inputs are used simultaneously (alternating between two guitars on stage using both inputs, etc.) should be avoided if peak overdrive is expected from the amp." According to that you're actually always in normal gain mode if you have cords attached to both inputs, right?

A footswitch in that spot would switch between being an open circuit to a closed circuit. It would be the same as plugging in 2 guitars (6dB pad), and then unplugging it. That's what a footswitch does. Other than that, you explained how it works.

I gotta try that.

Thanks for explaining. I like using the normal input for cleans on my 6505. So I will definately give this tip a shot.
