The switch wiring is the same for any effect, so you can generalize from any of the GGG drawings showing a 3DPT switch. Figure out which wires are the board input and board output (for the GGG Octavia diagram these are purple and olive green respectively). Now *map* these to a 3PDT diagram, let's say the GGG Tube Screamer layout. Here the board input is green, and output is blue. Now route the battery and DC jack as per the TS layout. Spend some time comparing different layouts of the same circuit, and you will get a better picture of the general principles involved, rather than just copying a specific layout. Compare a GGG layout with a Tonepad, with a Fuzzcentral, with an AMZ, etc.

Hope this was more helpful than confusing!
