3pdt with clipping diodes.

[davepedals]

I have never been very good with switches so wondering if someone can help me with a diagram.


I'm wondering how to use a separate 3PDT Stomp switch To select between 2 sets of clipping diodes.
My friend wants his pedal when on to be on the ge diodes,  click switch to choose si.  image below.  Would be great if somebody Can use the numbers of the terminals From the image to let me know how to hook this thing up.

It's going to be for a DOD250.    a drawing of a 3pdt with These connections would be fantastic.
Thank you!

If you reference this:





Then what you want to do is ground one set of diodes, then press the switch and ground the next set.
Like this:





The output level will change between the two diode types.

Nevemind.
The second drawing didn`t show up on my computer the first time..

Thank you for the reply,  the pedal Will have a normal 3pdt switch for pedal on/off so no need to mess with that.  but Wanting to add another 3pdt and add the diode pairs to it, then back out to ground and output of dod250.   I think I was thrown off When you did not use a 3PDT like my image in your example.

Yes, just use the "left most lugs".
