DPDT HELP!

Post by Wizard »

SO!

my last night my Carbon Copy fell off of my keyboard and now the footswitch does not switch at will, but when you finally coax it to push, it works fine.

Does anybody know where i can buy a 6-pin PC board DPDT? it seems to be much more compact than your average DPDT you can get off Pedal Parts Plus.... The pins are closer together...

I also need one for my Wylde Overdrive as welll, but this one seems more of a normal size, so worse comes to worse i can just get one with terminals. :facepalm:

WTF is with MXR footswitches going and dying on me like that.

two of my favourite pedals..

PLEASE HELP! <3

Cause MXR footswitches are evil and against you... :bob:

You could just wire it without the PCB surely? That way you could true bypass them aswell... (I loose track of which MXR are true bypass or not, are these already?)

None the less, this the sort of thing you're after? http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=23

They are terminals, although I think you could get them to fit seeing as if you use 3PDT PCB holders they take the same 3PDT that have lugs, but I could be wrong.

Annoyingly in the U.K I can only get the ones with PCB connectors! If you can't find them in the U.S though I could always send one over but they must be somewhere around.

Such as one of these perhaps
(This first one is my usual suppliers ebay page, so I know they're right and he does ship internationally)

Otherwise

(Might be okay, not quite the same but I don't know quite what's in your pedal)
