Does anyone know where to get one of these? I used to have one, but have no clue what happened to it. From what I remember, it looked like a little round black rubber landmine w/ a silver pushbutton on top and about a 10ft cable attached w/ a 1/4" jack that plugged into the mute function.
If they dont sell these anymore, does anyone know if there's some aftermarket footswitch that will also work? |

And yes, any aftermarket footswitch will do the trick. Just look for one with a single switch (LATCHING, not momentary... if that question comes up). The jack on the cable should be 1/4" mono.

Unless you're looking for something fancy, any of those will do. If it can be used for amps, it can be used for the tuner, as long as the plug on the end is 1/4" mono
Here's a random example from Musician's Friend: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tch?sku=158005
Here's one of those "landmine" ones - but this one's overpriced, IMO: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tch?sku=420703
This one's not, but the first one I showed you is cheaper: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tch?sku=421358
The latching/momentary thing tends to come up with less conventional switches - like the pad-style ones that Boss makes.

As for the momentary/on-off... I think I want a momentary. That would be slick as hell... |

I've been guilty on more than one occasion of not turning the mute off after tuning at practice and at a show or two. This would definately fix that issue, thanks TaySte 2000! |

My amp's footswitch has a tuner mute button... so the LED tells me if I forgot.
As long as you keep your foot on the switch, a momentary could be pretty useful, now that I think about it...
