Ring
is NOT common. As Guido has said and as the manual states: Tip is VCC,
sleeve is ground and the spin state control signal is ring. Sleeve IS
common/ground as per industry standard.

STOP You're both half-right. 


From section 17 of the Burn manual: "The RING of the jack is to be considered as the common contact for switching."  But it also indicates that the diagram is "The picture on the right..." when it is clearly on the left in the printout I downloaded from Crumar.

...

Yes, the diagram shows the tip as Vcc, the ring as ADC and the sleeve as GND.  But, in typical applications, what is "common" besides ground?  Nothing I'm aware of ... functions are executed as the result of which circuit is active, or has a viable path to ground ... but I'm not exactly a seasoned tech.

So, clarification from GSi is in order.  I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my stroke-riddled old mind around a few of the seemingly non-standard "features" (remember, the slogan is "imperfection is a feature") of my Burn.  Not so much that I feel "burned," but more in a left-handed-bolt-thread-in-a-right-hand-tapped-world sort of way.

Peace,
Fox

Guido has already said (either here or on MojoMusicians … I do not recall which) that the Mojo’s half-moon will NOT work, no matter what you try to do with it.  The footswitch, however, will work if you build an adapter that reverses the
sleeve and ring connection.  Burn is looking for the ring signal as “common,” or ground, rather than that from the sleeve, as is standard, pretty much industry wide.
