I am trying to wire the bypass switch on a buffered pedal. It has IN, OUT and Buffer OUT.

How do I wire it with a 3PDT switch with LED indicator...

Thanks...

What exactly do you want the 3PDT to do?

I want the switch to select between a buffered bypassed signal and the effect.

  Take the typical DPDT bypass jumper.
  Instead of a jumper, use the lugs of the switch which correspond to input and output to feed and tap output of effect [or buffer] circuit.
  A working circuit: only thing to worry about is getting the input to it's input and output wired right too, through the switch, the bypass jumper indicates the two relevant lugs.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Here is how to wire a TS clone with a buffered output:

Is this correct? I wired the pedal just like this and get no sound when bypassed or when on.

I've been working on something similar and I don't see any errors in the schematic you posted. I'd take take the buffer out all together and just hook an input and output up to it to make sure it's working properly. Then test the switch and so on.
