What sources do you have for the Fujistu Relays used in the relay switch boards like in the link. I see these at Mouser at $4.43. As much as I like the idea, it seems like I'm cheaper using the standard mechanical switch from LoveMySwitches.

I bought a bunch of them from JLC a few years ago and have them in a bunch of builds. I like the smooth click-less actuation of the relay. It less noisy when turning on and off and I don't think about replacing a footswitch again. Even if I had to replace the switch, it's only two connections instead of 9. That's worth the price of admission for a pedal that lives in my board and gets stomped to death

Oh yeah, mechanical switchers are cheaper. The relay switching is so nice though. I rarely use it myself.

I'm planning on doing all relay switching once my purchased 3PDTs are all used up, for the reasons GotA listed above.
