Re: Momentary footswitches
If you got something like the Boss ES-5 or ES-8, you get footswitches and loops, that you can put external pedals in, which you can buy!

Re: Momentary footswitches
You can get keyboard sustain pedals for $15. I use them for tap tempo etc.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: Momentary footswitches
I have grabbed most of mine from Ali, not had one fail yet and I have a heavy foot.. best part is they are cheap so you can get spares..
If in a hurry just hit Jaycar.

Re: Momentary footswitches
Those will be fine. Similar product is cheaper from china (aliexpress) but 2 weeks shipping. Quality on most stuff I've had from Aliexpress is decent.

yeah can't be bothered with the wait, and navigating the 15 million switch options on RS Components was too painfulbbrunskill wrote:Those will be fine. Similar product is cheaper from china (aliexpress) but 2 weeks shipping. Quality on most stuff I've had from Aliexpress is decent.
