hey all,
so i got a delay pedal and I know you can buy a footswitch to use the tap tempo function, but I'm sure they are pretty simple uinits to build.
However, I'm completely new to building audio electronics, so I wonder if anybody knows how to make one? All I know for sure is that it is an unlatching momentary foot switch...
any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi mihir.
It sounds like a very simple approach will work. What you need is a momentary normally closed pushbutton switch, a little box or something to mount it in, and a cord and jack. Most likely 2-conductor. You should be able to just wire the switch to the two jack terminals. Polarity won't matter.
It might be a good idea, though, to use a resistor in series. Try around 4700 ohms to start: you shouldn't need to go lower than maybe 50 or 100 ohms.
Good luck!
