Heres another Wedgie, the Germanium Over Drive (G.O.D.), and dressed in something other than pink!

cozy - what size, from under panel to lug bottom, are those footswitches you favour?

and the answer was f), leading to a).

For the DPDT, the best E-Bay search parameter is L6P for the PC pins, or L6K for the ones with the eye in the pin (my favorite). Its a 12mm latching miniature footswitch. For the 3PDT miniature, use L9P, or L9K. I bought a box of 100 for about $1 apiece- am good for awhile. 1.42" tall x 53" w x .48" d. The 9 pin measures 1.42" x .53" x .68". Tall means top of switch to bottom of pin. I did a couple of wedgie boxes using the blue 3PDT, but really prefer the miniatures- they click easier, and the lower profile is great for tighter switch placement, and in the wedgie you can use a nut on the inside allowing you to torque it down.

Hiya Dave-
It looks great, love the colors and knobs too. Can you tell us a little about it, and maybe a gut shot?

Hi Russ, Thanks! A harmonic percolator, swimming in room in there. Gotta run but will put the details up in the picture thread later today.
