Today I'm going to try my new Half Moon Switch made at home in my Stage 2 (attached with velcro)
Total cost: $ 5

When I see the price of the triple pedal and the half moon switch now, I'm glad I bought it just before they went up on price to the level that they are at now....

When I see the price of the triple pedal and half moon switches, I am glad I learned how to build compatible ones myself.

@LeoCastro: well done, guess you also used one of those "Telecaster" switches which are very cheap and easy to find, right? (that's how I made mine, which currently is attached to my GSI DMC122)

One of these days I'll make one of those...
Not sure I'd switch from controlling the rotor with pedal, but fun to make stuff and fun to have the choice.

Thank you guys. I don't know why they are so expensive too. Is only the metal box, a switch, cable and the plug....
And yes, i use a 3 position telecaster switch. It works, but as the stage 2 use a mono plug for the rotor input, i get nothing on the stop position. I will change the plug and cable for a mono pair and conect the shield in the same place and the tip on both side of the switch. Because now if i stop the pot in the middle, then i have to return to the previous position before go to the far side again.
Is not as nice as the original, but works the same!

You should be able to wire it so that you get Slow(Fast) in the middle and Fast(Slow) on the two sides; mine is wired for the DMC122 which can handle both Stop/Run and Fast/Slow commands out of it (and I use a stereo jack socket rather that soldering the cable directly to the switch)
