Gibson Amp Footswitch with EB-2 Baritone Switches......
« on: October 27, 2011, 04:48:09 PM »
I had noted a few years back that Gibson, on occasion, would use the EB-2 switches on some of their amp footswitches.

This is the first one I've seen in a while. It's about the only way to buy an original replacement if you need one.  :-\

If you have to buy an old one. If you want an identical one, you can hit a hardware store and fork over $2.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

There are quite a lot of switches that seem identical on ebay. I bought some NOS ones that looked identical to ones i've seen in old EB2s.

Something like this, search ebay for a Leviton canopy on/off switch
