hey guys,
are there any good use for SPST stomp switches??  I have 2 of them here, but not sure if I can use them in a project or somthing.

I took them out of Crybaby pedals after modding them with true bypass.


Thanks,
Duke

You never know when you might want to be able to use a footswitch to switch between/disconnect a cap or resistors or something...

get clipping to ground going...
 then, hardwire in Si diodes
 from signal path to ground insert an additional ge diode/switch.
 with the Ge's in the diode clipping section [sw on] the clipping will be done by the Ge's lower threshold, lift the Ge's [Sw Off] and the Si's will clip aslo and give more output.
 try with different type diodes/Leds etc. make sure you put the lowest clipping threshold going both ways on the switched portion.

flip/flop switching?

Or does that use momentary  switches?  Im not too sure about those...

there are not momentary switches. They're not SPST either, they're SPDT, I just modded mine with true bypass myself. it has 3 lugs, which would most likely mean SPDT, if i'm not mistaken.
