Title: 2 effects in one box-I've searched!
Post by: boogietube on December 26, 2006, 02:21:34 PM
I want to know how to wire 2 effects in one box-

Here's the thing. I want one switch for both effects on/off and the other to switch between the two effects. One effect on at a time. Led's can be 2 led's or bi-colour 3 or 2 legs.
Please help.
Thanks

PS - I have looked at GGG and here in Dragonfly's layouts. Both versions allow both effects to be on at the same time. I don't want this.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks! Looks great .

How do I get led's in there? I'll use 3pdt.

I just don't believe it. :icon_mrgreen:

here is a crappy paint drawing i put together a while back for something else. check out the middle lug of the 3pdt for how to incorporate the LED.

Sigh. I thought I did. See those dpdt's? Imagine they're 3pdt. Now wire up leds to the extra lugs.

See the top dpdt in the first diagram?  Imagine it's a 3pdt with the center empty.  Hook the ground up to the center.  Then hook the short leg of each respective led up to the lugs above and below.  Then hook the other side up to the positive power supply.  Throw resistor in the path somewhere, it doesn't matter.  So when the switch is engaged "upward", the path to that led is opened.  When the switch is engaged "downward", vice versa.  Got it?

 Gotta connect the outer bottom lugs of the bypass switch, but otherwise that's the stuff!
