Title: SPST switch for stanby?
Post by: fossilshark on October 05, 2019, 10:58:49 am

Hi, can I use a SPST switch instead of the DPDT switch for the 600v standby?I was thinking just stick it right off the rectifier unless that would blow the diodes?

Thinking I should just get the proper switch, but this is what came with my kit.

um, what are you switching, why does the kit think you need a sp and you think you need a dp?  those kinda things help  :icon_biggrin:

Yes. Fender has done it for thousands of years.
