Hey Scorehero
I've been thinking about trying out this mod since I'm tired of the stock pedal, I live in europe and geting my hands on some of these parts seems difficult without a Radio Shack.
I have found a normally closed magnetic switch but I can't find a mono cable anywhere, pre-striped or not. All I find is stereo cables 1/8" to 1/8" (male/female). Can a stereo cable work or do I need an adapter? I can't find a 1/8" stereo female to 1/8" mono male adapter. However, there is a 1/8" mono female to 1/8" mono male one.
So, my question is, would a stereo cable work at all? or would I need some kind of adapter? And in case somebody knows, where would one find a mono cable (old headphones? etc)?
Thanks |

Yes to the switch, No to the cable. You need a mono cable, not stereo. Just go drive to Radio Shack and buy the cable you need there. _________________

I ended up just buying the switch I mentioned in my other post and the wire from radio shack. I dont know if it was something wrong with my switch or something else but I had to wire it to be Normally Open or it didnt work correctly. But now its working perfectly! _________________

How much are these switches typically?
My friend got me my first one years ago and it finally died.
Confirmed if i wire it always closed, the magnet will break connection, but if wired normal the magnet wont trigger the switch.
And sadly it also happened to my legit rb pedal wiring.
At one point I meant to swap to whichever worked best and ended up having the stock wiring attached to the pedal AND the magnetic switches as well.
if one acted up, Id switch wires and all was good.
both are not functioning after I moved. |
