Re: Gate pedal?

2004-07-06 by drmabuce

Hi Gino,
   i could never claim that any of my solutions involved 'minimal' soldering but discarded guitar multiFX boards (by digitech,Boss, ART etc) usually have 3 or 4  robust momentary swiches on them. The advantage to these swicthes is that they snap on very fast and can stand up even to a drummers stomp

 - Scavenge a hopelessly broken one from your local repair techs dumpster, remove the fiddly electronic bits from the inside and assimilate the switches to your own twisted schemes.
   i'd be happy to help more off-list if you decide to pursue this as a 'recycling' project
