Help needed regarding a TOL100 footswitch

[Davidarnarsson]

Hi there!

I have a Rocktron manufactured TOL100 which has served me well over the last few years. Recently, the footswitch has started malfunctioning, the switches now only work, say, every fourth, fifth time i step on them. It kinda becomes painful when you gig alot not being able to count on the switches . Anyway, I thought that some contact spray might do them good, but when I opened the footswitch, I saw that the switches are completely sealed off with plastic. My question is, what kind of switches do I need to get it back to working condition? Will a 3PDT switch work?

I have 0 experience or knowledge of any kind regarding these matters, so please help me

Randall makes a 4 switch Midi controller which works great with a TOL 100, it's for their RM 4 preamp. I've used them with great results
