Hello--
The cheapo footswitch that came with my DRRI crapped out almost immediately after I bought it (used). One of the switches just stopped clicking.
As cheaply made as it feels, these things sell for almost $50, so I don't want to buy a new one. I'll see how much to repair this one, but before I invest anything I'm wondering:
Is there are sturdier/better replacement out there? Just has to turn on/off Reverb and Tremelo.
Thanks!

A new switch is $5 to $10, five minutes labor, if you can solder you can fix it. If you can not solder you can still fix it, it will just take ten minutes instead of five.
Logic gates based on billiard-ball computer designs have also been made to operate using live soldier crabs of the species Mictyris guinotae in place of the billiard balls.

Yup. Cheap and easy to fix.
Also cheap and easy to build your own in a sturdy little enclosure. That's what I did: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/inde ... ic=23435.0
But ... there are also some nice aftermarket options if that's more your thing: https://www.vein-tap.com/product/dual-l ... ootswitch/

I build them with LEDs and detachable cables. Much higher quality. I can help out if you need anything. Might even have a switch laying around.
