Silent Footswitches

[acehobojoe]

More on switches, I've asked you all similar questions before. You know those silent switches like on the Polytune by TC electronics? do they exist for our use? and does anyone know of some wide switches I can find?

I don't quite understand what you mean by "wide"
But if you're talking about this (S6):

Perfect. How do you wire em?

These switches alone will not provide you a bypass function. They are used to trigger a bypass system with flip-flops (like Boss, Ibanez), relays or logic switches.

That's true of SKU 0214C quoted above. You could combine that with a relay switching board (Monomonster or Molten Voltage) to get silent true bypass. If you prefer a multi-pole tactile switch that's compatible with the actuator SKU 0212:

Lots of ways to deal with this job now!

Had never seen these used anywhere
Are they reliable? (I guess they are or you would probably not be selling them .... ;-) )

[acehobojoe]

I am not sure how to combine with that second relay. But I'll try!

There is always this from small bear http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1379

1776 has the optotron,  mammoth has a silent bypass as well.

These are more drop in replacements for your 3pdt
