Where can I find a SP3T switch?

Broken slide switch on a Digitech PDS1000. It switches one contact to three different contacts. What are my best replacements? No issues with drilling the case for a toggle instead of the slide.

Just glancing at the title made me think of a rotary switch. Might not be enough room if it's to replace an existing switch though.

i would open it up, see exactly what it looks like, then click on the pic that matches

If you take a look at this PDS-1000 it has a toggle switch to replace the original slide...

I can't figure out how that was possible.

You can do it with a DPDT On/On/On toggle switch, there's a diagram in this thread http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-22290.html

Small Bear, as per usual. That's what I suggest, even though there's a superfluous pole.

Here's one from Mouser, although I hate ordering from them (because of my own shortcomings finding the right parts. I've made a lot of purchase mistakes; one more reason I love Small Bear).

here's a bunch at Electronics Plus.
