Sorry for boosting a 'fix my behringer' pedal thread that nobody wants but this looks a little more straight forward than I first thought
Just cracked open a spare switch.

What was the purpose of cracking open the footswitch?

To remove the footswitch mechanism and repurpose it for this situation.

Will post pics when done. Looks like it will work perfectly.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

You can make a toggle switch act like a momentary one using capacitive coupling. Look up toggle to momentary switch circuits

Why overcomplicate things? It would be easier just to get one of these.

Yeah saw that in a vid. Wired up. The switch I repurposed worked fine but would have to be offset to the left which sucks.... on top of the pcb not fitting in the case to begin with....

May have to find one of those switches.
