Momentary... what is it?

[rocker-D82]

I need to change the footswitch in the channel switching pedal of my marshall. What is the right one? What is a momentary footswitch?

A switch that does not latch (as in stays "on")

When you press it, it switches, when you release it, it goes back to the original state

"Touch Yes, but Don`t Lock"

When you press it, it switches, when you release it, it goes back to the original state

It isn't the right beaviour for an amp switching. Right?

Is it a good choice? http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=28

Nope... I don't know the amp; if it asks for momentary switches, add them, but if it only asks for a switch then adding a momentary switch will only allow you to switch channels when you press it.

I don't know the switch you asks for (but it is good that it is not momentary)... I only use SPDT switches for this feature or DPDT when a LED is involved
