Remote footswitch

Just got the DP24SD. I've got an old Tascam footswitch RC-30P from way back, and wonder if this would work with the new machine? It worked OK with my Boss BR 1600...

It's a good question.

I'm pretty sure that the RC-30P is a single function momentary switch that has a regular 1/4" jack/plug connector.

The DP-24SD has a 2.5 mm TRS jack/plug.

I'm thinking you'll need to upgrade to the RC-3F.

Keep in mind that if you are forced to upgrade - the RC-3F has 3 buttons with assignable functions found in the preferences menu of the DP-24SD.

It's convenient for not only punching in and out to fix something - but with multiple function(s) you can do repeat takes over and over again if needed or desired with just the foot switch since you can stop/play, "rewind", and stop/start recording all with the RC-3F. I also like this functionality because I'm not putting as much mileage on my stop/start/rewind/record buttons on the machine itself.

I find it very useful for my work flow.

Thanks - it looks like I need to invest.
