Sorry, have looked through as many previous posts as I could, but didn't see this one crop up:

Where can I get a replacement rotary switch for the Tri-boost? The ballbearing popped out of mine and I can't seem to find the spec. to order a replacement. I'm in the UK if anyone can point me to a supplier.

Thanks in advance!

Mark

The switch is an Alpha #SR2612F-0304-18K0B-D8-N, a 3-pole, 4-throw (3P4T) PC-mount rotary switch. However, in the UK, you might have more luck looking for the analogous switch from Lorlin, since they are made there in the UK. I don't have a part # for them, though.

Once you get the correct switch, the real fun begins--de-soldering the 15 connection points on the PCB. You'll need a good "solder sucker", some de-soldering braid, and a generous helping of patience for that. Take it from one who replaced exactly that switch on exactly that pedal.
