Where could I find a pcb layout for a 6 pole rotary switch (mounted) to be used for cap switching?  I have already populated my wah pcb using a Tonepad layout.  Had I decided on using a rotary switch beforehand I would have probably used one of JD's boards which has all the sweep caps on the wah pcb.   A layout like Stuart Castledine's (below) would be ideal.  In the meantime, I'll try my hand with whatever free pcb software I can find.

You guys are awesome!!!  Would it be advisable to use the ground and resistors or could I omit the ground and jumper the resistors?  I assume they would help keep the switch from popping but is there any other reason for their use?

Last question....should the ground lead be connected to a jack, wah shell or pcb ground?

Thanks
