Bad Footswitches?

[LaceSensor]

unless you are really really conservative with your offboard wire lengths, I see no reason that to simply cut the wires off and replace the faulty 3pdt completely, rather than unsoldering.

I dont favour the 3pdt, have used some regular blue ones that seem ok, Cliff seem the best for a reasonalbe cost. Had some REALLY shitty black ones, one that failed, and in all cases the epoxy melted with even breif soldering heat application.

DPDT + millenium is my preferred choice.

I know a pedal builder from the early 90's and he refuses to use anything except those DPDT. My buddy took a pedal in for repair that had a faulty footswitch, and I was shocked to hear the guy wouldn't replace it. He told my friend "they don't make switches like they used to."
