I believe they use a compact type. This isn't the exact part but it should be the same size:

Looks very much like the original switches.

I had to get one of these for the same reason on a different pedal.. still need to actually do the fix though..

19 euro for a footswitch is insane.

Oh, BlackenedSoul is right. These are indeed the correct looking switches. And yes, they are a bit expensive ...

The expense would be more justifiable if it was a super robust part but those specific switches are notorious for being flimsy. The original Way Huge pedals used them and they broke all the time.

i think that's just the banzai import markup. the switch itself is called the "MPG 306 D" by knitter-switch. seems to be a lot cheaper if you order in bulk directly from the manufacturer.

if i were doing the repair myself, i'd probably just use that taiway switch so long as it fits. a 3pdt is a 3pdt.

I know the Super Oscillo Fuzz uses a 4PDT - but is a super ridiculous circuit - so open that bad boy up and make sure it’s a 3PDT. If it is, the Taiway from LMS would be suitable in size and such :idk:
