Hi guys! I searched around a bit nothing conclusive so thought I’d ask. I am needing a foot switch for my K3s which is also connected to my KPA500/KAT500 setup. I purchased a Heil FS-3 however it has a 1/4” phono plug on it and the K3s has an RCA jack (like a dummy I did not look at the back of

Good info on the filters I had never tried the LO/HI CUT and I like it. One question: On my K3S I cannot set the LO CUT to .35KHz it only steps in .10 increments not 0.05 increments is there some CONFIG item I need to change? I looked through the CONFIG menus and Fred Cady’s book however I did n
