DIY fix Boss pedal footswitch

A quick rundown of how I fixed my boss pedal’s footswitch ,it was only working intermittently

[@paulhemmerling579]

This worked great. I used electrical contact cleaner spray instead of a fuzzy cotton swab. Thanks for showing how easy it is to remove and clean these switches.

Glad it helped

Thank you for this great guide, able to fix my newly purchased DD-3T and the internal footswitch isn't working but after doing this method, I'd be able to fix it with little to no knowledge on fixing pedals.

Thumb up,bud.Had this very dilemma on a PS 5 super shifter.

[@discoministerify]

Caution! Don't be a fool like me and try to work the footswitch only from the front without desoldering the wires. You are able to get the switch open and clean it. BUT this puts the metal connectors under stress and they might get loose from the plastic housing. This introduces other kind of problems as the metal contacts rattle lose. Happened to me and had to take the whole thing out and glue it solid again.

I have a PSK Boss DS-1 clone that is stuck "ON", switch won't turn it off, I will have to try this.

great video, but when i pull the switch out of my BOSS octave oc-3 its connected to some sort of board instead of cables, what could i do?

[@Brennosguitarsandgear]

Not sure about that style , sorry

[@mirandamcwhorter8247]

Got a boss ds1 pedal from amazon and right out the box the switch wasn’t working. Even a new battery and the adapter plugged in. We need a new switch.

[@Ted_James]

This is great, but why did you have to remove the back plate? It seems like all the work you did was under the battery door.

[@Brennosguitarsandgear]

Sometimes the switch won’t pull out from the front , I should have checked first

[@Ted_James]

@@Brennosguitarsandgear That makes sense. Thanks!
