WHOOPS! NEED HELP! BOSS SD-1 True bypass woes!

[wannabweiland]

Can somebody walk me through how to true bypass this thing? I have it all torn apart and I thought I knew what I was doing, but as it turns out, I'm not quite sure.

Here is what I've done so far:
- Drilled my hole, fitted the 3PDT = Perfect.
- Removed Q1 and Q2.
- Put a jumper on the outside pads of Q1
- Put jumpers from 6 to 7 and 17 and 18.

From here, I'm totally lost. I followed a previous thread on here about this, but I don't think it was meant for beginners. How do I connect the switch? What else am I missing? I know it's frustrating helping a beginner, but I would be SO GRATEFUL!

Been awhile since I posted but I had to answer this. I did this mod too and I don't recommend it. It kill's the tone and overall sound of the pedal. If you want to true bypass it. I would build a true bypass loop in the pedal. It wouldn't be that hard to do and it would retains the sound of the pedal. All you need to do is try putting it back together to stock. Once that's done, disconnect the LED and wire the on/off switch to where the effect stays on all the time. When you get that done. Figure out how you want to mount the TB switch on the pedal. Take the input and output wires from the jacks and wire them to the new TB switch then wire the new input/output wires to the jack. Wire in the new led and that should be it. Hope that helps.
