Are the switches here latching or momentary? Thanks.

They symbol, in the diagram looks like a Momentary Open Switch.

Cool thanks.

Not sure a momentary would work - need to keep the loop closed to change state on the LED. I think ajax is technically right about the symbol, but perhaps the artist used the wrong one?

HMMM. What do?

Quick research says the switches are supposed to be latching. This is for a POS Crate practice amp I'm picking up later, for those wondering.

They must have incorrectly used that symbol because the symbol looks like a push/push switch?

I totally agree with Grime - I'm still a student but, that circuit needs a latch switch. A momentary switch doesn't make sense.
It's probably a PUSH ON/PUSH OFF latch switch.

It's hard to tell. The datasheet is a bit vague but it would likely say that it's latching or maintained contact type if it was.
