I have a Princeton custom that uses the following footswitch.
https://andertons-productimages.imgix.net/23334-0994058000.jpg?w=640&h=640&fit=fill&bg=FFFFFF&auto=format&ixlib=imgixjs-3.3.0It basically has on/off latching buttons for reverb and vibe.
I would like to either:
a: modify existing footswitch so that vibe button is momentary (ie, on when stepping, off when not)
b: make a new, single momentary footswitch that only activates the vibe, and reverb is always on
c: make a footswitch that will on/off latch the reverb and momentary on/off the vibe in a single box.
It it would be great if I could have a solution that lives on the pedalboard, mini size, with te control cable plugging into the footswitch as opposed to being fixed.
I dont mind soldering this stuff together but her but I don’t have the faintest clue where to begin, so any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I just had another idea which would be to have an on/off flip switch at the top section of a mini housing for the reverb and a momentary on for the vibe just beneath it.
So so in effect, same wiring as currently exists in the stock footswitch but with the momentary on for vibe.
Whats the the best place to source these parts? Ideally single supplier.
I’ve already seen some two and six pin switches on eBay and am unsure which one I should get, as well as which type jack.

Maplin also sell diecast boxes, mini-switches and stereo jacks, which is what you need - eg this lot.
