The footpedal that comes with a Blackstar HT-5R as standard comes wit a trailing socket. This is usually fine but what happens if you use a pedal board and dont want it crammed with leads, what happens if the lead breaks just before a gig. By modifying this pedal to have a jack socket instead of a fixed cable any 1/4 inch jack to jack cable can be used to control the amp.
Provided there is enough room in the pedal this can be done to most. Of course you can buy a new pedal which is about the same price as the modification but we all know that there is nothing like have the matching branding on the pedal to your amp and using the right stuff, plus custom gear is cool.
-
- Before the modification the cable is fixed into the chasis and sealed with a rubber grommit.
-
- Post modification with the new jack socket added. The cable can now be removed for packing away or extending/shortening the length.
