3 option switch

[Bernardduur]

Just to try......

I want to switch three "lines" upon one "line"; is there a small way to switch these three lines? I can use a 12 stage selector switch, but they are too big (it would not fit).....

Oh, btw, it is for a Super Tone Control (Wha-Wha), as can be found here

Small way? DIL switch. It's those PCB-mount IC-looking little black boxes with switches on 'em. They have them in many sizes, with as many tiny SPDT switches as you wish - 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16...

I use 'em and love 'em. Makes a great set-and-forget tone selector inside the chassis.

Elfa calls them DIL, Mouser calls them DIP. Go figure.

EDIT: Ahh found a nice pic:


I use the red ones because they look better.

Wow.... that is tiny


But I had to post too quickly.... I meant a switch on an enclosure

(but this brings me to ideas btw)

Have seen the SansAmp? It'll be a pain in the butt to make the square holes and mount those but it'll look cool.

Yes, I thought about that...... but I guess it is not that easy to switch in mid song
