Any interest in Tap Tempo switches?

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 9:55 pm

I thought about building some Tap Tempo switches to sell here for a reasonable price. I just figured I'd gauge interest and see how many people would be up for one.
They would be in a 1590A sized enclosure so the footprint would be really small, using high quality foot switches and Switchcraft jacks. Extra options like synchronized outputs to sync multiple effects with one tap. Normally Open [90% of pedals] standard and Normally Closed by request.

I was thinking $25 + shipping for a plain enclosure
$30 + shipping for a clolour of your choice.

This may also lead to true bypass loops, AB/Y's, "Stutter" boxes, mini expression pedals and the like.

if you were to make me a mini footswitch for my orange DT, i'd be on this like a shot.

I believe orange uses a latching relay in the amp and the footswitch breaks that relay connection so a latching normally closed footswitch should do the trick. And since its a single channel it doesn't need a fancy tsr cable. The amp should supply the power for the led as well if you'd like an indicator. i even have a pal with a rocker 30 I could test with.

i have a link for one that a guy on the orange forum built. SGjarrod on here has just built one for his DT and it works great.

think it's like 3 parts and a little bit of wire.

I was thinking Â£15 + shipping. Your choice of LED/Colour, of course.
I think white with an orange LED and Orange's gain graphic sharpied on would look class

If you're making expression pedals I'd be up for a volume pedal if you can make them. However, I don't know how related the circuit would be.

If I do it would be a knob in a small box with a large enough knob to adjust with your foot. No treedle or anything too fancy
