Found it !!!!
I need to replace this broken switch. It is 3 position. It has three terminals. I do not know if is on/on/on or on/off/on.
I am assuming on/on/on as each position controls a seperate function.
Thanks tons.

You should have no problem finding it at an electronics store, or online.
Do you have an ohm meter handy?
It would be easy to check the switch function with an ohm meter. |

L6M, how are on/on/on SPDT switches set up? Does it connect between lugs 1&2, 2&3, 1&3?

You want an SPDT Center On switch, tho, I'm not having much luck finding any right now. Found a center off switch on US ebay.

You know, it doesn't have to be a SPDT.
You can use a DPDT On/On/On if you wire it correctly. |

On the pedal that this switch is on, each of the 3 position changes the tone so I was just assuming. I do not know this kind of wiring so clearly the center off position could be a default etc. |

We could maybe find a schematic and let you know what it is?
