where do I find these relays ?

[floyd]

I'm looking for these 12V footswitch relays

[sluckey]

Radio Shack, Mouser, or any of the big electronics part houses.

thanks.. I'm new to switching circuits.

Sorry , one more question... what is that 5 -pin footswitch jack ?

[sluckey]

I would guess it's a 5 pin DIN connector.

Are you considering a scratch build of this amp? If so, you do realize the board is a PCB that you'll have to get from Ceriatone?

Which board ? I think this layout reveals where the traces are...

There is a great deal of information here about using Doug's relays on builds like Dumblish clones.  You might want to consider this as an alternative given Doug carries everything to make this successful.

And Doug carries relay boards, relay sockets, relays, and the power supply board for the switching also:

  Yes I agree with you ! But this being the first time I'll be dealing with relays , Ceriatones' relay circuit is very easy for me,  at this point.

Good, but have you taken a look at the links posted by Tubenit ?

Hmm, that layout looks nothing like the layout in your original post.

The 1st layout is kind of a  "lite "version of the Overtone Special.

Yes.. a very helpful link.

Since you are not interested in a particular amp, you may want to consider using 5 volt relays. They operate exactly the same as the 12 volt relays, but the power supply is quite a bit simpler. And Doug carries the 5 volt relays, relay boards and power supply board.
