Is this a Latching Switch

Are the switches here latching or momentary? Thanks.

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

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? :hmm:

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.
