Modding an Amp Channel Switch Pedal to Plug/Socket not wired

not_the_dj

My amp (Egnater Tweaker 40) has a two button footswitch for channel 1/2 and FX on/off

I'd like to have that perminantly mounted on my pedalboard, but the cable's wired directly in, so I'd like to change that to a plug/socket arrangement.

(btw I've not opened it up, and I'm not really a modder/tinkerer)

Is that the sort of thing that's dead easy and you techy guys are sniggering as it's so simple?

Should be fairly easy I would've thought.

One of these:

Wired to the internal wires - sleeve and tip.

Can't see why not. Assuming it uses a TRS plug, You could use a multi meter to test where the tip, ring and sleeve connect to inside the footswitch. Drill out the cable entry, fit a TRS socket and connect to the relevant points. Shove a TRS jack on the end of the old cable and you're sorted.
