Hello-- I am new to the forum (and to tinkering with this type of stuff).  I am very interested in building my first unit, which is going to be the Fulltone A/B switcher.  After that, I would like to build a 4 loop series True Bypass box with LED's, DC in (Boss style), and a Tuner out.  I was wondering if anyone has any diagrams for something like this.  I have seen a great one by Aron that is for a single loop with a battery, but as I said, I am a total beginner, so I would not know how to wire up multiple loops with a tuner out and without a battery, but rather just DC power to power the LED's.  I will purchase 3PDT switches and switchcraft jacks from Aron.  DOes anyone have a drawing of how to wire something like this? 

Thanks a lot!

I'm new here too...

I have been searching everywhere on the web for almost the exact thing! I am also pretty much a beginner and am VERY interested in learning how to build one.

I've tried many ways to try to build something like this and it seems to end up with a horrible squeal everytime i select my distortion loop. Its probably because I'm only using DPDT switches...but I'm not sure....I need some help!

Here is a diagram of how to wire a 3PDT stomp switch for use in a True Bypass pedal. For more than one bypass loop just connect the Output to the Input of the next switch.

Thanks for the helpful diagram.  So where would you put the boss style 9v DC in jack? where would it be wired to?  How about the tuner out jack?

Thanks, JJJ.

As far as the tuner out jack I would use a loop for the Tuner..
