Generic Footswitch for 2-Ch Dual Rectifier

[wishtheend]

So my local guitar center wants about $100 a pop for the offical Mesa single button footswitch. I find this a bit ridiculous for just single button operation. Maybe for the larger footswitches they make for the 3-channel and such, but just a single button??

Does anyone have any recommendations on either some generic, or just other brands that tested to work, single button footswitches? I need to get two of them, one for channel switch, one for the fx loop on/off.

Thanks in advance!

My suggestion is don't buy it through guitar center and save $40.00. Just go here, and buy it direct from Mesa in the online store.

Thanks for the info guys, but I find it really hard to justify that much money for just a single button footswitch. I'm pretty sure the Mesa offical pedal is so much because it has the Mesa name and such. I don't see how the mechanics of a single button footswitch justify the cost. I'm pretty sure if I decide to go with the Mesa one, I'll buy from their site, or used. I was just curious if anyone knew of some substitutes that wouldn't be so hard on the wallet.

I sent you a good link for a used one on ebay for $30 shipped. That is about as cheap as you are gonna get.

build your own. the 2chan is just a single button, correct? That is unbelievably cheap and easy to build. U can find a schematic by googling, and parts will cost you $15 i bet.

Adding LEDs is easy as well.
