Best place to buy momentary footswitches, and Hammond boxes?

TJT1979

Hi

I need to make a couple of external footswitches, for use with Boss 200 series pedals. Two footswitches on each.

I think I just need a stereo jack, and a couple of momentary (normally closed I think?) footswitches in each. So a total of 4 footswitches. I'd like something decent quality for the switches... probably Alpha?

Where would be the best place to source these? The first few websites which came up on a search were clearly aimed at professionals who buy in bulk.

Many thanks.

Other brand recommendations welcome! I haven't found any Normally Closed Alphas.... just realised  I can presumably just use half of a DPDT.

If you don't want to DIY I've got four Boss FS-5Us I don't need.

Otherwise for smaller quantities I used to use Rapid Electronics.

Thank you, but the Boss ones are a bit big. I'll look at Rapid!

Just remembered that Bright Onion do this stuff too.

No probs.

Bitsbox are handy for small orders

Aha, yep. I've bought stuff there as well, a number of years back. Cheers.
