I am interested in replacing the footswitches with more reliable ones. Right now there is a mechanical assembly screwed to the chassis which activates a small pad switch that is soldered to the board. I have experienced many problems with the switches not properly activating. I would like to use a regular DPDT switch and wire it into the board, but there is not much room to play with, does anyone know of a quality switch with a slim internal profile and preferably poles on the side instead of the bottom. I would also like to know where to get replacements for the stock parts in case I am unable to find a switch that fits.

They're probably momentary SPST switches, not DPDT.

When I took mine apart the small pad switch was attached to the board with four posts (which leads me to beleave it to be a DPDT switch) and was not a momentary switch as it definately clicked on and off. The switches that are seen on the outside of the chassis are just pushing on the internal switch with a small spring and a small metal rod. I ideally want to replace the small (and apparently cheaply made) switch and the external metal actuator with a switch similar to other stomp boxes (one reliable component instead of two sketchy ones). This will entail de-soldering the tiny pad switch from the board and running four wire leads to a standard mechanical switch. What I am looking for is a sturdy switch that has a slim internal profile. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

4 posts would be DPST, not DPDT. Either, I think the pedals use relays for their true bypass switching, not regular hard wired bypass switches.
