1980's AMPEG V3 COMBO AMP FC-3 FOOTSWITCH REDUX - LET'S BUILD! - EPISODE 14

Today the Tone Priest revisits the FC-3 footswitch which is needed to operate a 1980's MTI era Ampeg V3 combo amplifier. Hopefully there won't be a need for a re-redux.

A very special thank you to @TheGuitologist for the very kind words on his latest SPF video. He was instrumental in inspiring the TP to spend all his money on these wacky endeavors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGqxwgGpzrw

This and all Tone Priest videos are for edu-tainment purposes only. Guitar amplifiers can have lethal voltages in excess of 700 volts. Capacitors can retain a deadly charge even when an amplifier is turned off and unplugged. Videos are not instructional nor do they advocate anyone doing any kind of repairs on their gear. Nobody should do electrical work on anything for any reason ever. Keep your hands and belongings inside the car at all times.
