Boss Pedal Switch

ZenOvertone

Anyone know where I can get a replacement Boss soft on/off switch for a compact pedal (OD-3 drive) in the UK at all?

Try Roland directly. I've managed to get all sorts of obscure parts from them in the past and they've always been really helpful.

They can be cleaned if you're up for it ...

(There's a link to Small Bear in the US for a replacement switch at the end of the article if you don't fancy the cleaning job)

If you don't mind a second hand one I should have a couple, PM me your address.

They break so rarely I have more dead Boss pedals with them in (itself extremely rare) than I need switches. From memory I have only had to change three in thirty years of repair work.

I've heard that if you rotate the switch 180 degrees it can bring them back to life.

I'm looking for a switch for a DD-5. Does anyone have one I can buy off them? Cheers!

I should have one. It will be used, but should work fine. PM me with your address.

From the useless facts thread: "The elephant is the only mammal that can break a Boss footswitch"

Who'd of thunk it? You been gigging down the local zoo?
