Post Fender acousatonic

I own the 30 watt Fender acousatonic. I see there's a foot pedal input. Does this control the reverb, the chorus, or both?Would it be a double button foot switch if it controls both?
Also, and this is a real challenge: I pretty much keep all the controls at the same levels, and don't "experiment" with different levels. If anyone has any familiarity with this amp, what do you keep your levels at? Any interesting combinations?
Thanks,
Larry

I can not answer your foot pedel question but when I got my first amp I kept all the controls, except volume, at the mid point. I did this because I figured a "flat" response would give a clear pure tone. After a while I started twisting the nobs and surpise I found some very pleasing changes. You can alway return to the mid point set-up so why not try a few changes to see if there is more in the amp than you thought.

Larry -

For both the Acoustasonic Jr. and the 30, the footswitch (one button switch part number 037659) enables remote on/off of the chorus effects only. The foot switch will override the chorus switch on the main panel. By the way for manuals for Fender and related products go to http://www.mrgearhead.net
There you will find pdf downloads for just about everything. Hope this helps.
