greetings!

i am in the process of building my first amp from scratch and i have been perusing ceriatones site and forums to read opinions and whatnot and i am curious as to what kind of switch the 6 position tone in the 18 tmb ef86 or the 36 watt variant people are using. single pole i assume right? where do you find these as i seem to have some difficulties finding one that is a decent quality.


thanks in advance

Just Google search "rotary switch 6 position " and you will see options like this below.  This one has two poles but he price is right.   Scott

That part is almost perfect, the proper switch is a single pole model, however. the tricky part is finding a single pole, single deck 6 position rotary switch. The trick a lot of guys, myself included, use is to purchase a 12 position switch, like this one from mouser for about $6 US

http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CK-Components/A11203RNZQ/?qs=h7H1bHRqGz9MM%2fx388MIzg%3d%3d

The trick to that switch is that it has an adjustable stop so that you can limit how far the switch goes over, effectively making it anywhere from a 2 to a 12 position switch. Cool, huh?

Hope this helps!
