What kind of foot-switch controller did Simmons use with the SDS-9? Was it a momentary switch, or a latched switch? I never had one with mine, and finding a actual Simmons one seems to be elusive. I figure I can get an inexpensive switchbox locally, but am not sure which type to buy. It would be nice to have remote control over the channel switching....

I might have a pedal or four....

Let me check tonight.

Anybody have any luck in determining what type of footswitch I need?

Paul,

I have two single pedals but I decided to keep them for now. They came with
my SDS-6 and is used for start and stop. The SDS-6 has separate connectors
for start and stop so it needs two pedals.

No problem, I completely understand. Can you tell me if they are a "momentary on" switch or what is known as a "latched" switch (makes a hard click when stepped on)?
