Very confirming, too. I ended up buying 2 vfs2 footswitches and they seem to work fine for everything but the gain boost, whether I've got the panel button in or out. Oh well, I bought the amp used, sometimes the reverb cuts out on its own, too. Maybe something is fried! It still sounds most beautiful, so I think I'll buy an overdrive pedal and try things out this way. Best wishes to you. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-29665 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 06:18:14 +0000 jerrybg 29665@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Hi Andyman,<br /> sold my Cambridge alittle while back to pen_and_ink so dont have it to look at or the manual anymore but the VFS2 is the pedal u need to do your switching, is'nt there a boost button on top of the control panel ? it needs to be push in ( i think) in order for the gain boost to work. have u tried the the VFS2 in the other input jack to see if it will switch the channels &#38; tremolo (on/off) ? really need 2 VFS2 to get the most use out of the Cambridge, which u have to buy on your own, be nice if vox would have set the amp up w/one foot switch that had 4 buttons to stomp on to do everything it needs to do to get the most out of the amp. hope u get it worked out. if i can answer any other questions about it will be more than happy to, good luck bro. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-29653 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:29:17 +0000 andyman 29653@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Does anybody know if the VFS2 footswitch really can control the gain boost from the rear plug-in for the ext. foot switch on the Cambridge 30 reverb? I get reverb control with my VFS2 switch but it doesn't seem to work the gain boost which would be most excellent! </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-7390 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:56:17 +0000 pen_and_ink 7390@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>jerry:</p> <p>sorry man, i don't come here often (doesn't look like you do either). e-mail me @ <a href="mailto:carl.adam.carter@gmail.com">carl.adam.carter@gmail.com</a> and send me some pics! i am still interested!</p> <p>- carl </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-5757 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:04:14 +0000 jerrybg 5757@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>pen &#38; ink, i just might, not sure what it's worth but be willing to talk to u bout selling it. dont play it, thought i would when i got the footswitch for it, but i just seem to naturally go for my ac30cch. is in great shape, has'nt really moved from the spot &#38; amp stand its on, feel kinda bad for it not being played much. send you pic's , model,ser. #'s( so u can check it has'nt been stolen) if u are interested. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-5746 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 04:13:31 +0000 pen_and_ink 5746@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>jerry, you should sell that amp to me! </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-3233 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:15:19 +0000 jerrybg 3233@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>HI Shanker,<br /> thank u for your time &#38; info,i appeciate it. at least now i have hope and can put the Cambridge back to good use,Thanks again bro for your help </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-3223 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:25:29 +0000 shanker 3223@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>HI jerrybg<br /> You need a two button footswitch for each input. Vox make their VFS-2 footswitch, but other makes will probably be OK too if you can't find one. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=644#post-3175 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 03:30:28 +0000 jerrybg 3175@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>not sure if i"m suppose to use this forum for what am about to ask...so if I'm off base here "i'm sorry" dont know where else to get my answer, ask local music shops &#38; cant get the same answer twice,...anywho...have a Cambridge 30 reverd twin, &#38; dont use it cause i dont know what foot switches to buy or use...it has a footswitch plug in on top control panel for channel switching &#38; tremolo(on/off) &#38; a plug in in the back for reverb &#38; gain boost. do i need 2 pedals or 1 that plugs in both plug in's that controls all 4....i'm lost, can anyon help me on what pedals i need....sorry again if i'm on the wrong forum or out line...just a Vox lover tired of watching dust grow on my Cambridge...by the way great site u all have going here....thanks </p>
