Hi all,

Could anyone link a good replacement switch for a block logo phase 90 from about 10 years ago?  I've looked at a bunch, I've found several that seem similar to the old one but I'm just not sure and I don't want to waste the time and money ordering the wrong one.  Any help would be much appreciated.

There are lots of suppliers for switches, but since I don't own a Block Phase 90, it would be good if you either posted a picture of the one you have. I imagine it's a DPDT switch. You can find switches like that here: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=24

Be careful.  Any pedal built into a 1590B box has to be thoughtful about how much space is taken up by this and that, or else you end up with no room for the battery.  The Carling switches that MXR frequently used had a more slender profile, and the location of holes was predicated on that.

Thanks guys.  I've been surprised how hard it is to find the make of this switch.  I would think with how easily it broke on mine everyone would be searching for a replacement.  I'm pretty sure it's a DPDT switch... don't really have a good enough camera to take a pic right now but will try to post one later.  If anyone knows a U.S. supplier of the exact switch and could link me up that would be just awesome.  Thanks again.

Does your Phase 90 have the board-mounted switch, or is it case mounted (like the original MXR's)?.  I don't remember when Dunlop changed to the board mounted components.
