I have Seymour Duncan sfx1 pickup booster as my overdrive pedal.
The switch is going out on it. I'm not excatly which switch i need, give me a hand.

Heres pics of what I have

And heres a page with some options.

The second pair look identical to the switch in the pedal, but i'm not sure what the E/H and RoHS abbreviations mean.

If you have a better place to get this part, speak up.
And this pedal is fucking awesome by the way.

You need a DPDT switch.

If you got a 3PDT switch you could make it true bypass.

E/H is electro harmonix
RoHS means that it's compliant with the EU lead in electronics standard.

So which one would you recommend i get? The 3PDT or the DPDT?
So dpdt is double pull double throw, does triple pull double throw mean i'd have 3 positions on/off/trubypass

It's not "pull" it's "pole". It just means that in a 3PDT three sets of contacts are actuated with the switch vs. two in a DPDT switch.

So then i want the 3dpdt then?

If you've not done much electronics work, then the DPDT will the easiest thing to do. You can just replace what's there by moving those existing wires to the same lugs on the new switch.

The 3PDT will give you two positions: on and true bypass.

If you want to try it, here's a wiring diagram.

Ok ok, i didnt realize that the 3dpdt had 9 contacts in that picture. now i realize whats going on. I'v actually done quite a bit of electronics(my old man is an electronic engineer) but i havnt used that knowledge in over 10 years so i'm definatly rusty.

If i could figure out what was going where, i'd try to use that diagram. Thanks for it.
And thanks for the help guys
