Title: Momentary / Latching modifications.
Post by: jimilee on January 15, 2013, 04:11:14 AM
So I bought a momentary dpdt stomp  instead of latching,it has 6 lugs on it,is it possible to mod it in any fashion to make it latching? I'm guessing not so much.

No. If it's momentary, it's momentary.

Or buy a latching because I bought the wrong one.

yeah, you'd pretty much destroy the switch just by taking it apart

Anatomy and rehabbing of stompswitch video and how to convert a switch. Take it apart, reshape the switch rockers, reassemble and you're good to go. Need to watch through the whole video to see the latching rockers early on and the momentary rockers at about 8min. Haven't tried this but if Mark says it's so... it's so.
