Question: Pedal guys (or builders)

[nuke_diver]

I think I have a 3PDT switch going bad on my Pharaoh Fuzz. I thought I had a replacement but it's configured for a Cool Cat and it make sense to leave it that way (it's a very easy replacement if one of them go bad). So I need to buy some. I see prices ranging from a few bucks to nearly 15. Is there any particular manufacturer of switches to avoid, or to try to get?

I know StewMac has them but I have never purchased from them before so right now I'd prefer Ebay or Amazon both that carry some. Probably should buy a couple too, right?

So, you've got one that looks like the one on the right in this picture?

If it were me, I'd probably go for several of these.

I'm using a BYOC looper now. If it's the same type of switch as what's in the looper, I'd have no worries.

I buy mine from two to three places.

Small Bear Electronics
Mammoth Electronics
and
Antique Electronic Supply

Never seen what DCF has on the right but if I did, there would be a work around.

I'll add Pedal Parts Plus to the list.

Yup that's it. I could desolder it and use it I imagine but I'd rather keep it for one of the Cool Cats (I have 3 but really only use 2 the TOD and the chorus)

I'd grab the first one at the price you like and run with it.
Most builders use the other type.

That said, there are some DIYers that have created their own PCBs with quick connects similar to that, but that low profile switch is new to me.
