Mosrite Footswitch (Vibrato ON/OFF)

Postby jnslobaugh » Tue Oct 06, 2009 12:06 pm

Hello all, Let me know what you think about my Mosrite Footswitch (Vibrato ON/OFF)
I figured since the chances of finding an original that would have been paired with my Mosrite Tube Head it would be easier to build something myself...
I think it has a bit of both, New and Old Style... I may not enjoy your opinions but I,m asking for them anyway. ;)

Looking very professional! What are the dimensions (roughly)?

Jeff,
That looks great!! It looks to be from the 60s era in looks, btw, as mentioned already, is that a decal that applied to the footswitch?
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Looks great. Only problem, for me, anyway, is that I would feel badly stepping on it.

Beautiful job there. I agree with Mel about not wanting to step on it.

I can't tell from the photos, but the angle of the front switch panel looks really steep. Is it hard to activate with your foot?

What kind of switch did you use? The top button looks like its made of plastic. If it is, you may have to replace it sooner than later.

neet job! looks nice. the angle dose look a little steep to me too. I would have made a wedge style like a magnatone, and maybe vox. I would have been tempted to put the carling switch in the Matel M before mosrite
I regret not the things i have done, but the gear i did not buy.
