Kind of looks like whats refered to as vandal proof switches, costly.

I thought / hoped they were latching, but apparently only momentary.

Could be fun to fit a pedal with one of these and Ettore's wicked switch idea.

I've hooked something similar up via relay, using an arcade syle button (missed the contest deadline). Ebay is full of badass spst momentary switches. I'd love to see a vero version or a etchable layout for Ettore's switching system. That seems like the most cost effective technique

Here's a pic.

that's what I am thinking. Single sided layout, small like the 1776 3PDT boards..... Boom. Done.

I think he needs someone to etch/verify his layout before he releases it, if you can do it I think he will send you the etching file.
