Nothing in particular, but a nice long novel would be nice.  |

Changed the title to the thread... Now wanting to know if it's worth buiding my own switch for it, if i should just buy a boss switch.
If build, does anyone have any directions for doing this? |

Use a momentary switch... Normally closed ("NC"). Most commercial momentary switches are normally open ("NO").
If you have the gear, it's easy to make one (took me about an hour going slow). If you have to tool up, the Boss one is probably a better option. |

Hi PunkFloyd & Guys
As a Tech & humble Collector.
oooOOOOOH that really hurt. (2x10mm holes in the treadle plate & chassis).
Regards Dr. Bob 
I wouldnt do it myself as I like to keep all my Boss pedals stock, (though im not a collector) But for people who want practicality and to save pedalboard space, you cant deny it's a great idea.  |

Hi Guys
Before I found a Boss FS-6, twin foot-switch.
I took an old low profile switching power supply case.
I think it was off some old nuked laptop.
I removed all the internals, & that left me with a nice case,
that I could fit a couple of N.C. (Normally closed) switches into.
I re-used the cable restraint, that was fitted to the DC out cable,
and ran some twin core shielded mic cable to a couple of right angle plugs.
The other hole that was left, by what used to be the mains socket.
I covered that hole (internally) with a piece of rigid black plastic.
I marked the switches A and B with some white label-maker tape.
The switches I used were the type you find on old fridge doors,
that turn on the internal light, when you open the door.
(I managed to get these in a bulk buy throw out sale).
It was a quick, simple & cost effective solution.
Regards Dr. Bob |

For language reasons and lack of knowledge I need pictures to understand this, otherwise I won't 
@PunkFloyd: same here, I wouldn't touch it that way myself, nor even let someone with the skills to do it. I think the RC-2 has little useful features to my style when playing life, so I don't really need it to be small profile since I would use it at home (sometime in a distant future, when I can afford it). |
