I apologize if wrongly posted. First time poster long time user. Id like to operate my looper with multiple foot switches. Can i do this by soldering directly onto leeds switch on pedal? Bring all 3 ts into one? All info ive found is for doing opposite, ive got her all opened up just curious here to connect

Thanks

Welcome!

If the foot switch is a normally-open, two-lead, momentary switch, you can certainly put as many more of the same as you like in parallel with it, and any one of them operating and shorting the two leads will have the same result. From your pics, I can't tell if that's the case here. Mike

Thanks,

I can get normally open switches but I currently have the on/off style, TS output. Looking to trigger record from different locations in the room

Do your current foot switches click and latch, or do they just go down, short the contacts on the board, and go right back up?

If they don't latch, it's hard to predict what a latching on/off foot switch like your others would do. You could try it and see.

Looking at YouTube demos of this pedal, it seems that both foot switches are momentary, meaning that they briefly connect contacts on the PCB when pressed. If so, you can connect any number of momentary switches (not click on/click off) in parallel with them, and get the same result. If they are momentary, the LEDs are controlled by logic on the PCB.
