Jobo Footswitch Source

[jeroldharter]

I have a Jobo Process Timer 8 that has a socket for a footswitch. Does anybody have information about a source for a Jobo footswitch or any footswitch that would be compatible? Thanks.

Hi Jerold !
Rh Designs (a sponsor) sell a footswitch for it's timer and analyser. You may contact Richard for a quote ....
As these is not rocket science, I think it will fit the Jobo provided you've the good plug.

I don't know the spec for this footswitch but if it's a simple single low-voltage "push to make" contact then ours should work - I'd just need to know the plug type in case it needs changing. We use a 2.5mm jack plug.

Thank you both. Of course, I could have been smart enough to try my current footswitches. I have an RH Designs timer (great product) with a footswitch and a Gralab footswitch so I will try those. I assumed it was proprietary but I will try it out.

I looked at the Jobo footswitch socket. Instead of the usual male plug going into the female socket, it looks like the male part is recessed in the unit and the footswitch plug is probably like a socket.

I found an old Adorama catalog from 1995 which listed the Jobo Footswitch JB6201 for the Process Timer 8. The only place I found it for sale was at Cambridge World for a price less than it cost in 1995. I ordered one but who knows if I will get it.
