2-Channel Overdrive Pedal Order Switching Question

[awgearhart]

I'm getting ready to start working on a custom 2-channel overdrive pedal. One side will be based on the Super Stevie from PedalPCB (a Lovepedal Super Six SRV Mod) and the other side based on the Mahayana Drive from PedalPCB (Zendrive).

I want to install an effect order switch so that I can select what overdrive receives signal first (NOT AN FX LOOP!). If you're familiar with a Lovepedal Box of Awesome, that switch scheme is what I'm trying to include. I have the wiring diagrams, I just want to make sure I do this correctly.

This picture shows the off board wiring from PedalPCB:



This image is the wiring diagram for the actual order switch:



I drew in what I think the remaining pins should go to. So I ignore the 3PDT wiring from PedalPCB and follow the second diagram, but I add in the SW and GND wires as labeled in the second diagram. Do I have this correct?

Any and all help would be appreciated, thanks!

Yes, your diagram will work as drawn for all 3 switches. 

Since the order switch doesn't have room for an indicator LED, I like to use a toggle rather than a stomp for it.  If you do, and rotate your order switch 90 degrees clockwise from your drawing, the toggle handle will point toward the side that's going first, so no need for an LED.  That's assuming that effect 1 is on the left and effect 2 on the right, viewed from INSIDE the enclosure.  From the outside of the enclosure, 1 would be on the right and 2 on the left.  If you want that reversed, rotate your order switch 90 degrees CCW instead of CW...

A minor point, I normally use the middle column of bypass switches for the LED wiring (lugs 4-5-6), rather than the first column as you show (lugs 1-2-3.)  That gives a bit more separation of the in/out paths to reduce crosstalk.

Thank you for the input! I will definitely take you up on the advice. I normally do too.
