Fender "Bright" Switch Foot-switchable?

[Pink Unicorn Horsey]

I have a Fender Super Reverb RI, which (as many of you already know) has a Bright switch. I'd love to make that foot-switchable so I can turn it on or off at the stomp of a foot. I'm sure this is possible, but just how many hoops do I have to jump through if I want this to happen?

It's totally possible. You'd have to replace the physical "bright" switch with something like a relay, then attach one side of the coil's relay to the tip of an output jack (the ring of the jack needs to be grounded) and the other side of the relay's coil to the positive power source. Then, use a ground to tip shorting pedal to switch on and off the relay. If you have a picture of the type of switch that teh bright switch is (DPDT, SPDT.. etc) I can draw up a schematic.

Okay, here's what I just read:

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 'bright' switch blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

:smack:

How do I find out what type the "Bright" switch is? I'd love a schematic! Thanks, bro.

Hahaha, sorry... Here's a rough schematic I just drew up:

If you take a picture of the switch, I can tell you what it is.
