Relay power supply board. from hoffmanamps.com


6.3vac connect to amps heater supply. 6 vdc out goes to
the relay coil positive/plus. The relay coil negative/minus
is switched to return to the power supply minus and
activate the relay. The footswitch jack is not grounded to
prevent hum.

Another idea for a relay power supply. Based on an idea


from blueguitar.org. With this setup the relay minus can be
grounded without causing amp hum, no isolated jack required.
