Hi guys, I'm new in this DIY world. Probably the first one in my city(Kolkata, West Bengal, India) to make something innovative stuffs..... But after 2 days of search I've come ta a colclussion that 3PDT switches are not available in my city :icon_redface: Not even DPDT switches....
The only option lest to me is some online orders with free shipping facility.

I found this website gigving 1lot(10 piece) for approximately Rs. 945.40 (US $15.32)
Plz suggest me if these can be used in my stomp boxes.
If I wanna use DPDT switch, can I use these:

They both look reasonable.  Have you checked out Tayda?

$1.50 ea. is a cheap price.

Though the 3PDT switches look same on both the websites, the specifications are a bit different.
Max. Voltage: 250VAC 125VAC 9VDC (Aliexpress)
Does that mean I cannot use these switches for 18V pedals?

those switches will be eminately satisfactory for your 18V. the specs SHOULD read: 250VAC, 0.5A/ 125VAC, 2A/ 9VDC, 3A. you would be hard pressed to find a pedal needing 9V at 3A switched.
