I am looking for a 2PDT or 3PDT Stomp Switch that has a non LED (or non powered) On / Off indicator, does anything like this exists, if so can you point me to one. Though it may seem odd, I want to build something ( a very simple One .003 mf capacitor stomp box, to simulate the "strangle circuit" in a Fender Jaguar) that has no other parts than the jacks, capacitor and the stomp switch ( to keep it as simple and close to the original circuit) but of course, I would like to know if it's on or off. Does an all mechanical switch with ON/ Off indicator exist?  (or a separate non LED or non powered On / Off indicator)
Thank you for your interest and help

In a word no...

However if space is tight. Use a coin cell battery 3v for your led with a 3pdt.

Ive used a coin cell in a passive  vol setting pedal and will last forever....mine has...

Indeed, but is there a Footswitch equivalent that you can tell if its on or off

I could recall old fashion mechanical foot switches (e.g. for medical instruments) with also mechanical ON-OFF indicator but they were heavy, bulky & expensive..
(and, of course, they were used for remote switching via cable..)
