Title: Alpha momentary DPDT Stomp
Post by: croquet hoop on August 14, 2013, 12:22:30 PM
Has anyone ever used them ? http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1256

I'm wondering how they feel. I have a few of the latching version and the shorter travel before the click is not a problem to me, but I'd like to be sure that, as a momentary stomp, they do not click and have a nice action.

The reason I ask is that they're still less expensive than a 3PDT switch, they have a smaller body than the common no-name SPST momentary stomp switch, and I expect them to be more reliable than both.

So, has anyone tried them?

Wampler uses them for the momentaries in his pedals ... the feel is excellent. More substantial than the Carling SPSTs (so you know you've pressed it), but no click.
