As I said in another thread, I use the RC-300 with GR-55.
I know that the traditional method of using outside foot is with a fs-6 or similar.
But I want to create a more compact system for 4 buttons to activate commands ctrl (1, 2, 3 and 4).
Is there any problem to use starters, directly in stereo plug10?


my idea:

Ronaldo,

I understand you are in Brazil


The large Automotive switch you list may work - but it also might exhibit a phenomena called "Switch bounce"  that might prove to exhibit non repeatable behaviour in the Roland circuits when substituted for the Roland FS-6 Dual foot switch,- might work if you wire a 0.1 microfarad (100 nanofarad) capacitor

in parallel across the momentary switch's two electrical connectors on rear of switch  - the capacitor helps "tame"  the mechanical switch bounce chatter typical of large mechanical switches.     



But I recommend you order here your Momentary Normally Open Switches here:
