| Has anybody rewired the remote switch for a Session 500 so that a 1/4 inch jack could be used? If so do you have a diagram of such? |

| Craig, If I recall (leg remote not in front of me) that is a midi type (5) pin plug that also controls the phaser effect. I don't believe you'd be able to accomplish the use of all the effects using a 1/4" plug. |

| Kevin I am willing to accept not having the reverb control if I could get the other two effects. |

Here's the wiring of how the original 5 pin din plug is wired:
Pin 1 is the string effect (pin 1 and ground)
Pin 2 is the phase shifter (pin 2 and ground)
Pin 3 is the reverb.
They also use the ground pin.
The remote reverb is a 10K Audio pot.
Connect one end to Pin 3, connect the other end of the pot and center (wiper) to ground.
Here's a diagram:

| Personally, I wouldn’t alter the leg remote for a 500. They are very hard to find and worth$$ to someone without one. Repair yes, alter no. You’d have to most likely drill a hole in back panel to add another 1/4” . |

You could get another 5 pin mini din plug, and make up a new switch box with cabbaging the old one. I had an old Session 500 that power amp was bad in and made a preamp box with places for a pedal and tuner in it... ran it into a powered PA speaker...

I wqould love to use it as is but the pin end is so unreliable and I get tired of messing with it. So I figured I could just modify it. |
