Product Information

Full details

The Crazy Tube Circuits XT FTSW is designed for guitarists who use the Triptychon pedal and require remote control over the overdrive section. This dedicated external footswitch provides the utility of independent overdrive engagement or bypass, offering enhanced performance flexibility for live shows or recording sessions. While the device is built for durability and ease of use, it is a passive accessory and is exclusively compatible with the Triptychon pedal, meaning it does not function as a universal footswitch for other equipment.

Does the XT FTSW require power?

No, it is a passive device and does not require batteries or a power supply.

Can I use this with other pedals?

No, it is specifically designed for the Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon pedal.

What type of cable do I need?

A standard 1/4-inch TS (mono) instrument cable is required.

Does the Triptychon pedal come with this unit?

No, the Triptychon pedal is sold separately; this is an accessory footswitch.

Is the switch latching or momentary?

Troubleshooting

Footswitch does not toggle the overdrive

Check that the TS cable is fully plugged into both the footswitch and the Triptychon. Try swapping the cable with a known-working instrument cable.

Intermittent switching

Inspect the cable plug for debris or oxidation. Clean with contact cleaner if necessary and ensure the jack on the pedal is secure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rugged build quality suitable for touring
  • No external power supply required
  • Simplifies control of the Triptychon overdrive
  • Compact footprint saves space
  • Standard cable compatibility

Cons

  • Not compatible with other pedal brands
  • Requires a separate instrument cable
  • Does not include an LED indicator

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: insert a high-quality 1/4-inch TS instrument cable into the footswitch jack and connect the other end to the remote input on the Triptychon pedal. Ensure the cable is fully seated to prevent intermittent signal issues. Since the unit uses a latching circuit, no complex programming is required. To maintain the device, keep the footswitch dry and avoid spilling liquids near the jack. Wipe down the enclosure with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust, and ensure the cable connectors are cleaned if you experience any signal crackling over years of heavy use.
