Only seen the large chrome one's, that you linked to in your other post. (plus my pic of)

In the GK-3 Kit manual, it says that you can substitute the up / down buttons for a SPDT (off)-on-(off) rebounding switch.

I have from Jaycar one's LIKE these.

Not sure if the ones I have are DPDT or SPDT, I've never tried as yet.
But on the side of mine it says  ... on (on) with these it is in the up position and when you move it down it bounces back up.
Hence, I call it a bounce switch.  :P
So I presume you could use these. Not sure thou, as I have to try myself yet !!

That will give you all chrome finish your after.  ;)

OR ....
Just spotted these, that seem to be a bit smaller  12mm .... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-Momentary-Push-Button-N-O-OFF-ON-DIY-Switches-A3-/180738162567?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a14d57f87#ht_1570wt_939

Hey ... if you don't need 10 switches, just send the rest to me  ;D ;D ;D

Z, the switch in your first link seems to be a toggle switch so when you go to either ON position it stays there unless you bring it back to OFF yourself. This is not so good for a S1/S2 application. What you want is a similar switch but with "Spring loaded / self centering design". Some also refer to this as 'Momentary". I have bought some from StewMac I think but they don't seem to have any now.

Just google for "on/off/on mini toggle momentary" and you will find many sources. Here's one that seems good to go :

Hope this helps. All the best

When seeking the center off momentary toggle switch for S1, S2 replacement - do a google search on:


(ON) - OFF- (ON)



The parenthesis around (ON) are important, as that denotes the momentary switch action.

ON-OFF-ON
SPDT Centre Off
A special version of the standard SPDT switch. It has a third switching position in the centre which is off. Momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) versions are also available where the switch returns to the central off position when released.



This same type switch is employed for S1, S2 control on many Brian Moore and Ibanez 13 pin guitars
