Swapping out the Power Switch

[tommytak]

Hello,

So I just finished adding the speedball upgrade and I’m suuuper satisfied and happy about the way it sounds. I was wondering if I want to switch the current power switch to a LED power switch button, do I just detach the two ends (power and ground?) from the old switch and reattach to the new switch? I want to make sure I don’t mess up the circuit of my functioning Crack.

The switch I was thinking of getting is this
Momentary Push Button Switch, URTONE UR198, 1NO1NC Stainless Steel Shell with 24V White LED Ring Suitable for 19mm 3/4" Mounting Hole, Include Socket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07848P52B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_dnp6AbZXDS1WT

Thanks!

The switch is "momentary contact", i.e. it is only on while the button is depressed - remove your finger and the amp turns off. And the LED light needs a source of 24 volts power, which is not available in the Crack.

So no, it won't be satisfactory in a Crack.

Oh I see. Then do you know which alternative LED switches would work best for the Crack?

Also another related question: if I want to put LED strips around the border of the plate, which terminal would I have to connect it to so that the LEDs light up as I turn on the amp?

Thank you again for all the help!

LEDs require low voltage DC power to light up.  This isn't something that's available in the Crack.
