3PDT 9-Pin Guitar Pedal Foot Switch

Build or restore your own guitar effects pedal with this 3PDT 9-Pin Foot Switch, the industry-standard stomp switch found in nearly all boutique and DIY guitar pedals. As a Triple Pole Double Throw switch, it gives you three independent switching circuits in one compact footswitch, most commonly used to route the true bypass signal path while simultaneously controlling an onboard LED status indicator, all from a single stomp.

Each of the three poles has three solder lugs, for nine lugs total, so you have the flexibility to wire it for full true bypass switching, or use it as a simpler 2-pole switch by leaving the extra pins disconnected. The rugged metal housing and reinforced nylon internals are built to withstand thousands of stomps on stage or in the studio, and the latching action gives a satisfying, reliable click with every press.

This switch is a must-have for hobbyists and builders working on DIY effects pedals, amplifier channel switching, or restoring vintage stomp boxes from brands like Electro-Harmonix, BOSS-style clones, and T-Rex-inspired builds. It requires a standard 12mm mounting hole and threaded bushing, making it a drop-in fit for most 1590B and similar diecast enclosures.
