Nord stage 3 + Orange FS-2 pedal?

Post by pietsvv »

On the Nord stage 3 you can change programs up or down with a pedal like BOSS FS-6.
Is it also possible to do this with the Orange FS-2 pedal, when u connect a cable with 2 mono jacks to the pedal and 1 TRS jack (stereo) on the other side of the same cable that goes into the Nord? + Would it be safe in connection with the impedance of the input?

Many thanks,
Piets

The Orange FS-2 is a dual footswitch (on/off latched type), the NS3 requires momentary switches so the FS2 is not OK for it.

idd, thanks.
Orange also told me that the FS-2 impedance is around 470 Ohms.
I think the Nord control input impedance is 10K Ohm, so that is also a "no go" I guess. ;-)
