Hi, as you look at the 4 pin XLR on the back of the amp, if you look close they are numbered. The right most is pin 1 and is ground. ground for the 12 volts on pin 2 that is used for the LED indicators on the foot pedal. Pin 4 is the gray wire and controls the reverb on/off if shorted to ground. Pin 3 is the tan wire, and again if shorted to ground will control the tremolo/vibrato. You can use a fender/peavey/ marshall type foot switch if you change it to the 4 pin type used on the kustom. I have several adapters made up to take vintage type fender foot switches with out the LEDs.It changes the RCA plugs from a vintage fender to the 4 pin XLR.
