Stomp Switch - DPDT

These are the sturdy little stomp switches that you find on guitar effects pedals. They're DPDT on/on type switches which mount into a 1/2" diameter hole. You'll need at least 7/8" of depth beneath your mounting surface to accommodate the switch body. Use these as replacements in some types of effects pedals or, better yet, build your own!

  • Max Current: 4A @ 125VAC
  • Max Voltage: 2A @ 250VAC

Stomp Switch - DPDT Product Help and Resources

Core Skill: Soldering

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.

1 Soldering

Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.
See all skill levels

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

3 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

    Let me date myself. The old car floor Highbeam dimmer switch! :-)

    FYI - Typically guitar effects that use a stomp switch use a 3P2D to allow for true bypass around the effect circuit. These would work great for a gain boost or selecting clipping diode configuration, etc.

      There is a way around it: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/bypass/bypass.htm

      I should add that the third pole is used to control an indicator LED.

    Never mind, I missed the answer to my question below.

  • Member #200027 / about 10 years ago / 1

    Does the switch bottom out on the housing to take access pressure? Or if you step on it too hard will it break?

    I see no depth for the threaded shaft. it's marked as l on the vendors diagram, probably to acomodate several models. could you tell me the length in mm?

  • Member #24157 / about 13 years ago / 1

    Is this a push on, push again for off switch (like a car head light dipper/dimmer switch used to be); or do you have to keep pressure on it?

    The time on the product video is wrong, its linked to 9s into the video when it should be 61 seconds.

  • Member #24157 / about 13 years ago / 1

    Have you any idea of the pressure needed to activate, such as can a finger push light/heavy easily work these or is it indeed a 'stomp"?

      The new products video showed Robert clicking it with his finger.
