dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi All, Hope someone can help. I have recently bought a mosky 2 button switch to expand my HX Stomp but I can only get 1 of the switches on the mosky to work. I have checked in global settings and FS4 and FS5 are both set up correctly. I'm connecting the mosky to the stomp via a TRS cable. I have also tried a TRS Y Cable and have exactly the same problem.

Schmalle Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Mine works fine. You can test the button 2 by pulling out the plug on the Mosky a little until it rests naturally. Now it should do whatever button 1 did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Ok, I tried that and it does exactly as you describe. So if I have fs4 set to bank down and fs5 set to bank up when the cable is plugged in correctly fs 4 will not do anything and fs 5 will bank up. If I take the cable out and just rest it both buttons will bank up. Do you think my switch or cable is dodgy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Tried setting mine to the same settings in the screen shot and the same thing occurs - button on the right functions but the button on the left does nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Unless I pull the cable out slightly then both buttons do the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Ok so I think it's something to do with the cables I'm using. I have two cables, a TRS cable (at least I think that it's a TRS cable) that came with an expression pedal that I bought (line 6 pedal) and a TRS Y cable that I bought when I bought the mosky switch. I have my fs 4 and fs 5 set to change presets up and down (fs4 is down, fs5 is up). This is what happens: When I plug the cable in that came with the expression pedal only fs 5 (right hand switch) works, the presets change up but not down When I plug in the y cable I get preset up with one of the y cable ends and when I use the other y cable end I can change preset down but only using the one switch (right hand switch). Has anyone got any ideas why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pull the cable on the HX Stomp a little until it rests (which is exactly the length of the tip) you can test FS5 function as well.

dmccarthy1973 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Problem solved. Cable that came with the expression pedal is a TS cable, not a TRS cable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Get a new TRS cable? My Moskey works fine, but I have no clue what kind of TRS cable it is, just some old generic thing I pulled out of "the cable box". You could test the Moskey and the cable using a continuity tester to eliminate that as the problem. Maybe one or the other is just faulty?

BigBob-Irwin Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I ordered one for my stomp and they had wired it incorrectly at the factory switch 1 should be tip and switch 2 should be ring. After testing with a multimeter I discovered that was wired the wrong way so opened it up and resoldered now all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKenivel Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Mine was wired backwards too.. I just use it backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
