Guest Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi My T-Rex pedal has a faulty switch and after emailing T-Rex twice I’ve had no reply. It’s a twin channel and you select the left or right channel and they are either on or off or if one is selected the other one takes over if you select it. The question is what switch do I need to buy to replace the faulty one. Please see the attached pics. Thanks in advance. Mike 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Do they click and latch? If not they are momentary switches which will latch a logic gate. So you would search for something like single pole momentary footswitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the M on the side indicates that it's a momentary one - I've seen similar ones with an L on the side for latching type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cribbin Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm sure T-Rex would give you the correct part details. [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Quote after emailing T-Rex twice I’ve had no reply I think he might've tried that already... Mike - is it possible that only part of your switch is faulty? Have you tried connecting (for example) the wire currently on #1 pin to the #3 pin? Or maybe moving both #1 and #2 wires to the pins on the other side, to see if they're working? I've you've got a multimeter, 3 minutes playing around with it will tell you if the other pins are working without having to solder anything. It'll also give you the answer as to wether it's a momentary or latching switch (you might have to test the working one to be sure).
