Inside a Mesa Footswitch

Anybody ever look inside one? Is it a circuit board or just wired pots screwed into a metal plate?

I'd look in mine, but it's a 30 minute drive from my house.

I have a long stock Roadster switch and am curious to see if I can make my own 2-row version of
rather than buying one.

Circuit board

EDIT: Keep in mind that's for ease of manufacture, however. The circuit could basically be described as a row of switches which trigger lights and send a control signal to the amp via the multi-pin connector. This is accomplished by a custom IC. You can build this by hand and point-to-point wiring, but I think the box will be a hell of a lot larger. :lol:
