  1. Default powerultra 205p pedal

    sad, but true, been in n out of hospital pretty much since I bought my powerultra 205p. Anyway, question is, when in pedal mode, amps go from 0 - max based on pedal being pressed all the way, no matter what the knob is set at on the panel? is that the case? I know in panel mode I can set max amps. I thought if I set knob lets say 1/2 way, the pedal would only give 1/2 amps, even if pressed all the way. Do I need to make some kind of adjustable stop for the pedal to limit amps? Thanks for any info, like I said, havent been able to really fully check out the machine since I bought it.

    On that model machine, it does not support limiting amps with the foot pedal, it merely substitutes for the amp control on the panel.

    Darn, kinda what I thought. Will have to fab an adjustable stop for the pedal, and mark approx amps. Oh well, thanks for the quick reply.

    Other than making an adjustable stop for the pedal, are there any other pedals available that will serve the same purpose?

    No. Though it is possible that adding a pot in line with the foot pedal could do it.

    Need to know value of pot, and whether linear or audio taper, etc. Any ideas out there?
