I found 5 Potter Brumfield KH-6041 relay's in a box of stuff I had stored back, they can be run on 6 V.D.C. to 120 VDC, 4PDT, Would these make a good Basis for building an analog switcher ?
I would be grateful for any thought's or input on this,
Thank's,
JD

hard to say, to me they sound like they're a littly clunky for audio switching. At the bottom of this page there's info on product numbers, perhaps you can make sence of the number 6041.
Checked it out earlier, I thank you though, these are a little more compact than the Italian made relay's inside the Bradshaw switcher, and a better quality relay by far, I once wired a 152 relay page on a SCR drive unit, I don't think I ever want to do that again,
I'll keep testing these for now and until I find a better way.

out of interest what do you use to trigger the relays?
I think the way I'll energize it is with 24 VDC, it's marked on the side of all Potter Brumfield relay's the min. max. operating voltage, these are 24 V. 4 pole, double throw, that give's me quite a bit of option's to do my routing of several of the Emulating pedal's into a tubed power amp, I have several choice's, I dug out a 150 watt Yamaha power amp today, has 6 - 6L6 power tube's with 150 watt rating,which would push my 6X10 cab with no problem, and this amp has no preamp in it, just a mixer for bringing a signal into the power section, this would give me the choice of putting all the board's from several emulater's in one long stomp box, which would be a good way for me to do this, I could also add a volume pedal and a Wha into this stompbox idea, and a pocket to park my tuner in, if I decide to do this then the board will be powered by 120 VAC, in side the stomp box I'll have to add a couple of regulated power supply's which I can build for the 24 VDC, and 9 VDC for my Emulater's. I think this approach will suffice til I find a better way,
