Title: relay switch
Post by: soren_jepsen on April 30, 2007, 08:53:18 AM
How do I make a digital switch for an fx pedal?

I need to use that instead of a simple toggle switch.

Maybe I should clarify  ::)

I want to put the Noisy Cricket into an old stomp box. It fits nicely, and have the three holes for pots already. However, the old stombox didn't use a mekanicle switch, but some kind of touch switching (it's an old DOD stomp box).

I would like to use that foot switch (which I just called touch switch  :duh) for the grit switch in the Noisy Cricket. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Here's the link for the Noisy Cricket just for the sake  :)

If I was doing this project, I would probably change the footswitch with a new dpdt, so you don't have to deal with aditional circuitry.

Did consider it, but it would an ugly space where the original switch was  :(

Besides, I would learn a bit   ::)
