thumbo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Where can I get a decent quality, relatively compact tap-tempo switch to use in the 'control out' on my Boss DD-20? It'll take quite a regular kicking so it needs to be sturdy! Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I reckon a Boss FS-5 footswitch would do the job - but you'll have to read the DD-20 manual to see if it requires a latching or unlatching footswitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FS-5U is as sturdy as they come... and they stick together like lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) change of plan! I've decided to just make one instead. That way I can have the size of casing I want and exactly the kind of switch too. Cheers for the suggestions though chaps.

BassMunkee Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just get a non-latching footswitch from Maplin. It's all you really need. The Boss ones are extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammond box, non-latching footswitch, mono jacksocket, a bit of solder and you are away! Probably six or seven quids worth... cheaper if you source pots off the bay maybe.

Higgie Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Surely it should be a non-latching switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
