Yes, but it's described as having "less clunk" rather than "no clunk".
It might be that that's a better solution if "no clunk" proves very expensive or there's not enough room.
No idea where you'd get them unless Tech 21 can supply you with a few. They must have spares.

Hmm? Do they mean no ACOUSTIC click? If so fine but I have played around a bit with relays in guitar input paths and never got a really silent changeover. Once you buffer the signal, beer into water.
Might just buy one of those and have a do!

I assume the OP is asking about no physical switch click though, for finger operation.

Maybe a thought...

The TU3 that sits ontop of my rack for live use, tends to get punched on rather than pushed!
Thanks for that - I'll have to open a pedal or two and see if there's room, and start saving some pennies
The one Adrian linked from Mammoth is good but might be pricey when you factor in shipping. Have a look at this Coda effects mini kit you can order it with the relay and codded PIC for 8 Euro. Ships from France to the UK in about 4 days. you need to supply a few bits and the switch.

With these sort switch boards, I'm guessing the foot switch is a SPST that sets and resets the relay coil?
Could you have a bypass looper with 3 in/outs, but with the switches in a different box? so you could have a couple of fx in the loop of an amp, sat on top within the looper, with the switches 20 ft away at front of stage. kinda similar to the gigrig remote loopy I guess.
And that second idea has just given me something to consider for the switcher I'm building for the first quarter challenge.
Something to consider with the suggestions made, is that Mammoth one uses a latching relay (means it'll only use power during switching), whereas that coda one uses a standard relay (needs power to stay switched). If you're running of a power supply, it's not issue, but if you're relying on batteries, the Coda one will use more power.

Datasheet for the NA5W-K used in the coda one states the coil power is 200mW, but that drops below 80mW when active, which at 9V should be around 22mA and 9mA. Actually just realised they're using a linear regulator to power everything at 5V, so you're probably looking at quite a bit more than 22mA and 9mA.
The specs for the Mammoth one are less than 0.0008 mA off, 3mA while on, and 23mA during switching.
