Where to buy a Vintage Russian Big Muff footswich?...

[artsinbloodshed]

hey guys!
I'd like to know if someone knows where to buy a footswitch for a russian (sovtek) big muff (kaki green/big round switch)...
or a store where I could find one. I've searched the net but no luck so far...
Thanks!

I used to have them. Unfortunately, E-H no longer sells replacements. About your only source would be a dead pedal on E-Bay. However, the metal cap is press-fit and removable. You might want to look at some way to secure that to a regular stomp switch as a work-around.

Thanks!
yeah, I though that the metal cap could be like an "actuator" in some way.
Did you do that kind of "surgery" before?

I have not. I do know that the cap is removable, because customers have told me that they successfully took it off an existing E-H switch when replacements were still available. So it's a good guess that another switch could be cobbled in there with some fiddling.

well, in that case i'll try to do it carefully!
take pictures of the process and maybe do a "tutorial" if successful!
Thanks a lot!
