RE: another EDP footpedal question

[Hoover Alan <HooverA@tce.com>]

Switchcraft makes these "interlocking" switches, which automatically 
restore
any previously-actuated switch to its "off" position.  Its series 35000
"Littel Multi-Switch" can be bought with 1 to 18 switches.  They are
push-buttons in a line, not footswitches.  I suppose you could rig up some
kind of footpedal actuator which wouldn't damage the pushbuttons.

Switchcraft is in Chicago.  312-631-1234.  I don't know if the area code is
still accurate.  They have distributors all over the US, including Mouser.

Subject: another EDP footpedal question


Thanks for all the quick replies!  I have several free catalogs on the way.

Here's another (more challenging) question:

I am trying to figure out how to switch one footpedal between multiple
Echoplex DP's?  Sure, for 2 EDP's, an A/B box works great......for 3
'plexes, 2 A/B boxes can work.  But then, it starts to get confusing,
because I can forget which one I'm on (I usually have to mute the loop to
figure this out).  Also, sometimes I have to hit more than one button to
switch EDP's (& this would get worse, using more EDP's & A/B boxes).

What I envision, is to use several switches (one for each EDP), and by
hitting a (only one) switch, it switches the connection from my footpedal
to that EDP.  (Of course, it would also have to switch OFF the connection
to the previous EDP, as well).    Here are other features that would be
great to have:
