- What it does and why you need it - A 9-lug switching solution for guitar effects pedals that lets you rewire or expand pedal functions without replacing the enclosure. The third pole can be wired to control an LED status light or to add another custom function, giving you more control over pedal behavior and visual feedback. - Key features - 9-lug switch (three lugs per pole) — three poles provide flexible wiring options for bypassing, routing, or adding indicator circuits. - Third pole assignable — use it for an LED status light or any custom function you design into your pedal. - Universal compatibility — designed for use in common pedal platforms including Electro-Harmonix, REX, Retro FX, Radial Bigshot and other ECT effects pedals. - Mounting hardware included — hex nut, lock washer, flat washer and leaf washer provided for secure installation. - Practical form factor — standard footprint and lug spacing suited to typical pedal enclosures and rewiring projects. - How it helps - Simplifies rewiring vintage or boutique pedals by giving a reliable, clearly defined switch with three isolated poles. - Adds a convenient place to wire a visual status LED without having to alter existing switching architecture. - Allows hobbyists and techs to retrofit or upgrade stompboxes while preserving the original enclosure and layout. - Typical applications - Rewiring a vintage fuzz or overdrive to add an LED indicator while keeping the original switching scheme intact. - Converting a two-pole stomp switch into a three-pole setup to implement true bypass plus an LED or secondary function. - Installing in Electro-Harmonix, Retro FX or Radial Bigshot enclosures when modifying or repairing effects units. - Practical notes - Each switch has nine lugs (three per pole); wire according to your pedal’s schematic or the desired switching function. - Supplied hardware secures the switch in standard pedal holes; verify hole diameter and clearance before installation. - Intended for use in effect pedal enclosures and rewiring projects; follow safe soldering and wiring practices.
