Hello,

I've started the madbean's snarkdoodle project and there's a boost toogle SPDT switch to activate the boost.

It has to be a SPDT ON/ON switch.

I'd like to replace it with a foot switch. What kind of switch should I use for that?

I found several Foot switches options:  2PDT and 3PDT ones and SPDT/1PDT carling switches (for wha's I guess) .

Even if it's not specified, they're probably not ON/ON switches but ON/OFF switches.

could any of them work?

I checked the beavis audio pages about switches... It seems clear but it's hard to know what work with ON/ON and ON/OFF switches.

Is there other options?

Thanks in advance.

You can use a DPDT switch. Just use one row of lugs and leave the others.
