Footswitch for Your Marshall Amplifier
Marshall’s heavy duty PEDL-91004 footswitch will allow you to enjoy hands-free control over your guitar amp’s reverb and channel switching, via two latching switches. The PEDL-91004 is designed to work with Marshall DSL100H, DSL40C and DSL15C, JCM900, JCM800, and VS1 amplifiers.
Subsequently, do I need a footswitch for my amp?
If you’ve bought an amplifier with switchable channels, usually a distortion/gain and a clean channel you’ll need a footswitch to activate or ‘switch’ between each one. You’ll also need one if your amplifier comes preloaded with switchable effects like reverb and tremolo.
Likewise, does the Marshall DSL40CR come with a footswitch? And why wouldn’t you? The 2-button pedal that comes with the Marshall DSL40CR is fine, just limited. This larger 6-button footswitch provides more control of the amps it pairs with.
