Three button momentary footswitch (TRS) ?
Hi there,
I'd like to find a three button footswitch with momentary, not toggle, switches. Anyone got any leads ? This is for use with a Lexicon G2. The folks at Lexicon recommended a Digitech FS300, but it uses toggle switches, which don't work particularly well with the Lexicon, since the Lexicon doesn't respond to the state of the pedal when changing patches. Also, the Lexicon needs a momentary footswitch to work conveniently with tempo tapping. Anyone know of a good three button footswitch that uses momentary switches ? The Lexicon has a 1/4" TRS input, so ideally, that's what the footswitch would output... I've asked Digitech about their FS300 and about the GNXFC... both of them use toggle switches. The only momentary triple footswitches I've seen have been designed for piano/organ use, and they're much larger and heavier than I need. Since I frequently fly with my gear, the size and weight are considerations. If it's possible to buy this kind of footswitch pre-made, I'd MUCH prefer that to trying to build my own, but if anyone has experience in that area, I'd appreciate any input there as well. Thanks for any advice! James |

If worse comes to worst, you can get three heavy-duty momentary pushbuttons from Grainger and put them in a diecast box. This is for use with a Lexicon G2.

For any of the industrial switches, you will have to add your own wiring and connectors. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Thanks for any advice! James Hi James, I have one of those Digitech FS300's. They are nicely made. I think it would be easiest to get one of those and then buy three momentary switches and replace the existing ones. Try Digikey http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T052/1219.pdf for the switches Check this out on Ebay too : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7321665515 Line 6 has to different models. http://www.line6.com/products.html?category=7 I'm guessing you would have to rewire them to work with what you have though. Best of luck. -- John L Rice |
