Hi folks! I have a MAZ 18 Junior with Reverb, I recently bought a Z-amp pedal. I'm assuming it’s an older model, it’s just a Footswitch with no dials or lights.
I plugged it into my Footswitch Jack at the back.
Here’s the embarrassing question. How do I know if it’s on? 🤦♂️
Am I bypassing the EQ on my amp? I find if I push the switch it gets louder and muddier. Is that bypassing the EQ?
When I bypass my EQ (if that’s what I’m doing) does it render the dials on the front less sensitive?
I’m sorry for these questions. I’ve moved from a Mini Z and I’m still in the process of learning the MAZ. I’ve been all over Google and YouTube but none of the articles or videos really help me to understand.
Thanks so much for any help, I truly enjoy these boards.
All the best
Cam

Welcome to the forum.
That’s my understanding; engaging the footswitch bypasses the EQ and produces a boost in volume.
When I had the footswitch without a light, I used a Boss FS-5L with good results.

Camtrav, That is certainly an older footswitch. The one I have has volume but no LED indicator, I'll put one in soon. You can purchase a new footswitch from the Z shop I believe. It's worth the trouble, the bypass is a very useful feature. Brian V
