Jsh	Re: Still Switching (sort of Tapdancing really...) I started building the prototype 2x2 switcher. I ran in some delivery problems: I DID get the latching relais (just two for the moment), but I CAN'T get footswitches!!!! I use stupid pulse-"foot"switches for the prototype... I also thought of putting the LED's parallel to the switchcoils. This means that they only light up, when you hold down a footswitch. Despite the low power that LEDs consume, I decided to make it all as "low power" as possible (batteries? probably not, but uh.. it want to use ALL pedals on one [Stabilized] adaptor). Does anyone feel like giving me some answers on electricity theories? By mail... it's embarrising really.. but I can't find my old electricity book.
