I found a panel with about 10 Alco DPDT and some 3PDT switches. Are these any good? They are made in Japan and the quality seems ok. Has anyone ever used them in a project? The last thing I want is to have them fail (unlike the "blue" switches I have in some boxes... really good switches)

cd

Those are what Fulltone, etc. used to use - not horrible (slightly better than an X-wing), but definitely not up to the standard of the new "blues".   They're designed for finger touches, not big ass foot stomping.

auh poop!

I guess I shouldn't box this up yet till I get some $$ to order some "blues" from Aron.

BTW... does anyone know who makes the switches for Fulltone?
