Dood Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Prompted by the thread in General, I am reminded that I need to get a new switch for my Boss LS-2. It's one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOSS-REPLACEMENT-SWITCH-FOR-ALL-BOSS-EFFECT-PEDALS-PEDAL-FX-DELAY-CHORUS-REVERB-/172235592129?hash=item281a0a91c1:g:QiMAAOSwuMFUkNd3 But seriously, thats daft money. I'm pretty sure that these things can be picked up via Farnell / CPC / RS - but I really can't find the manufacturer or a part number to suit so I can spend the couple of quid that they're actually worth ha ha!! Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 They are very similar to computer keyboard button switches from the past, but again, Ive only found versions with short stalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 [url="http://www.banzaimusic.com/SPST-MO-BS-Switch.html"]Banzai Music[/url] in Germany Trouble is, the €7.95 shipping rather kills it - I ended up buying a load of bits and pieces to make it worthwhile getting a replacement Ibanez pedal battery door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 You're a star! But yes, you are right - shipping is a killer! - I got in touch with Gotoh a while back as one of the washers on a tuning key had split. No problem, it was 89p for a new one. Shame about the £10 shipping from Japan!! The local (sort of) distributor wouldn't get one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Have you tried Roland UK? I needed a load of bits to repair a pedal a year or so ago and they were really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 [quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1469134659' post='3096106'] Have you tried Roland UK? I needed a load of bits to repair a pedal a year or so ago and they were really cheap [/quote] I have now yes. £8 - Still steep for a £1.50 push switch but cheaper than a new pedal I suppose. Will order when I get a mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
