Stomp Switch

These are the sturdy little stomp switches that you find on guitar effects pedals. They’re 3PDT (three-pole, double-throw) type switches. These switches allow you to modify your effects for true bypass and lets you wire a status indicator LED. This is useful for stage performers, as it leaves no question if the "box" is on or off.

These are the same Stomp Switches found in our Proto Pedal Kit. Use these as replacements in some types of effects pedals or, better yet, build your own!
