DPDT

Post by Smokebreak »

What do you guys like for your DPDT switches, on-on, not mini?
This won't be for any power handling, just for switching in extra gain stage, etc. I've been using the minis but they are obviously not robust.

If they don't handle power, it seems the service ratings aren't far off between mini and conventional. The issue is how often gorillas will switch them. I've seen guys break off the tip of a guitar cord in an amp.

:lol: Yeah I remember a post awhile back of a guy complaining about breaking off those mini toggle bats. :)

I haven't had much problems with the mini's though. Mountain seem really good quality compared to some I've gotten through vendors.

Well that's comforting, I guess :D
I never thought much about it but I've broken 2 recently just tightening to chassis...not the bat but the bushing. Guess I'll ease up on my grip :lol:

I've done that once. Definitely wasn't the switch's fault :)
