Serious foot switches

James Duffey
I built my own as well. I bought a rubber door stopper, the wedge kind  
and a momentary on switch from Radio Shack. Drill a hole in the door  
stopper and put the switch in the hole. Wire it up and it is ready to  
go. Also works with the push on push off switches.

I find foot switches to be the natural mate to head sets. THey leave  
your hands free to do stuff. I find vox to be fussy. - Duffey
