Hi all

I am working on a fuzz prototype and I need to find a good source for SPDT
switches .

I am talking about those metal footswitches used in effects boxes
like fuzez that switch between channels.

Does anyone know a good mannufacturer for those switches ?

Thanks in advadnce

For the heavy push-on push-off pushbuttons, try an electrical supply
house. C&K Switch makes some decent ones, but my bet is that you will
find better European ones where you are.

If possible, get either wiping contacts or silver-plated ones. The
problem is that switches designed for high current use often depend on
the arc to clean the contacts, and if they are used with very low
currents (like audio signals), the contacts will gunk up.
