HHHHelp.....need a mini switch for active circuit for 150...looks like 4 pole... there are 12 legs on switch...i have the wiring positions but need to know configuration of switch..single throw etc...

4PDT, sometimes shown as 4P2T

Four poles, double throw. I've never had one in my hands, so I'm not sure if it's a two position (on-none-on) or three position.

This might be a good candidate if the original is two position:

You'd be better off just leaving it on all the time and using the Active Volume. Take it from possibly the only person on Earth crazy enough to have owned all five Powered-EQ models. The batteries in my X250 lasted over two years and it gets a ton of play time, including being one of the guitars I use Live.

The Active circuit makes a very noticeable POP when engaged, and that 12 pin switch is going to be an afternoon cuss-fest when you get around to trying to replace it. The batteries are only draining when the guitar is plugged in, like a stomp box, and as I said they last a good long time. See my X200 video if you want to see how I use the Active Volume to go from clear to crunch to meltdown. Good luck, Mike.
