Both jacks are located before Reverb and Presence in the signal path. M. FOOTSWITCH - Connect the included footswitch to enable remote Channel and Reverb switching.

POWER INDICATOR - Illuminates when the Blues DeVille is on. Unscrew the red jeweled cover to access the bulb (type T47) for replacement. O.
