Relay question

Hi all,
I'm about to purchase relays for the footswitching of my D-clone. I have 5V taps on my PT and was wondering if the relays are the ones I should buy:

Yes, I've used those for 5V taps.

Unfortunatley the diode's drop too much voltage and if you have diodes on the relay won't trigger (at least mine won't). I got around it by having the diodes come on when the relay is off.

Use a voltage doubler (2 caps, 2 diodes) to get about 14 volts DC from the 5v tap.

Are those the same relays that were sold on the brownnote forum as switching relays for the Dlite?

They might be..we used a lot of similar Omron relays, some 5V some 12V, and there are a bunch of different variations that all look pretty much the same.

They all work...as folks have said, some have to be set up differently.

Ok, thanks for the input!
