The following schematic is a circuit that allows the Tramp to select either Tweed or Tude mode via a foot-switch. The circuit uses a single 5V relay with both poles being used. If no foot-switch is available or simply not plugged in the modes can be toggled by the volume push-pull switch (just like stock).

The circuit taps an AC voltage off the heaters, rectifies it to DC, regulates it and has lots of filtering in between. The circuit does not add any extra noise, it is quiet and has no induced popping. Quiet simple circuit and fairly easy to implement in the Tramp.

Hopefully later Stephen can snap a few pics of a Tramp with foot-switching abilities.

Yes, it works well. kurtlives did a good job. Note that the jack MUST be insulated from the chassis.
I'll get some pictures together soon.

Should be noted the entire circuit is "floating". There is no AC ground, there is one signal ground but that is on the relay. The whole floating circuit thing is key to getting the PSU/switching to work.
