The carling switches are alot more expensive but everyone swears theyt are the best and last the longest. I had some cheap switches die pretty quickly when you use them to step on

Hey, this is a great place! I'm working on a multiple guitar switcher pedal using a rebuilt Fender footswitch I picked up at the guitar show for a song. Only problem was the original had single pole switches and new circuit needed double pole. A quick check of Mouser showed they were asking almost twenty bucks a pop for Carling DPDT! Yikes! Small bear has THE price!
