This page brings together material originally posted in a couple of entries on the main updates pages (January 2024 and June 2025). The main focus: footswitches supplied with Domino Reverb amplifiers - (1) the combo, late 1963 to later 1964; (2) the piggy-back version, later 1964 to summer 1965:

1: - as mentioned a little while ago (updates page, Jan. 2024), Domino Normal and Reverb combos normally had a type of footswitch of their own to switch the tremolo on and off - wedge-shaped, made of Bakelite, white or black, no VOX logo, and more often than not with a white cable. AC4 serial number 3391 also has such a switch. The AC4 and Domino range (save for the Domino SRT) were assembled for JMI by Triumph Electronics in Purley. It may have been Triumph that sourced these switches.

The cast footswitch of a late Domino Normal, no "VOX logo.

2: - piggy-back Domino Reverbs (in company with certain AC10 SRTs) were evidently equipped with footswitches that had DIN plugs, though no example has come to light so far unfortunately. The sockets on Domino Reverb serial numbers 3576 and 3607 were replaced with jacks in more recent times. That the ovoid switch pictured below came from a Domino seems unlikely - the DIN plug assembly feels too modern and the cable (around 4 feet long) probably too short.

Domino Reverb serial number 3329, DIN socket for the footswitch to the right of the serial number plate, to the left the Geloso XLR speaker socket.

The DIN plug has only three pins. It is not possible to tell how they are connected without breaking the plastic housing. If a cast housing had been used for later Domino Reverb footswitches however, it will probably have been more along the lines of the one supplied with the late Domino Normal pictured above (no "VOX" logo).
