Description

This heavy duty footswitch from Chord gives you a reliable push to make momentary action, ideal for building or repairing guitar pedals and other stompbox projects. Press it down to close the circuit and it opens again as soon as you lift your foot, so it suits momentary functions rather than latching on and off. The rugged build is made to take repeated stamping, which is exactly what a floor switch needs to cope with over time.

It carries a rating of 250Vac at 3A, or 125Vac at 6A, so there is plenty of headroom for typical pedal and audio switching duties. The switch uses an M12 thread with 16mm of length and comes supplied with two nuts, letting you fit it neatly through an enclosure panel and lock it firmly in place. Large solder tags make wiring straightforward, giving you room to attach your leads without fiddly connections.

The body measures 13 x 13 x 25mm, with a 14mm diameter and a 12mm mounting depth, so it fits comfortably into most standard pedal enclosures. Whether you are wiring up a true bypass loop, an effect on/off, or a custom control, this footswitch (foot switch) gives you a solid, dependable part to work with. It is a practical choice for anyone assembling their own pedals or replacing a worn switch on an existing unit.

Frequently Asked

How do I connect the wiring?
