Question A/B looper with master bypass wiring diagram needed

Hello! Could you guys help me out to build a A/B looper with master bypass? If someone could draw me a simple, noobie readable wiring diagram.

I'd like to make a looper where I have OD in one loop and fuzz in the other loop. Then I just switch between those with one 3PDT switch, so that other is on and other is off. Other 3PDT switch would be that master bypass to bypass the loops. And of course I need LEDs to show to show if master bypass is on, or which loop is engaged.

So one box, two loops, two switches (A/B and bypass) and three LEDs.

Here's example http://www.loop-master.com/images/Clean%20Dirty%20FX%20Switcher%20with%20Master%20Bypass%20101105.JPG

I could buy it, but I want some DIY in my pedalboard :cool:

Thanks in advance!

Resurrection! I need a wring diagram for this. Anybody?

Thanks,

It should be fairly easy to figure out how to make it work if you simply think about how a 3PDT switch works. If I could draw it for you I would, but take a pair of 3PDT's and see if you can map it out. Start with the loops, then add the LEDs.

With the bypass, the input would go to one of the middle poles, the output a second of the middle poles. On one side, you'd have a simple bypass connection so it would fully bypass like any other pedal bypass. The opposite side would send to and from the second Switch. Then on that switch, one side would go to and from Loop 1, and the other side to and from Loop 2. The LED's - side would connect to both side with the loops, then the ground to the middle. On the bypass, you would just connect the led - side with whichever side you'd want the LED to light up on (bypass or engaged) and the ground to the middle pole.

It's pretty simple really. Don't have a drawing program, but if you take a piece of paper and understand how a switch works, you could draw it out for yourself on paper.

Now that I look at it, it seems the leds are not right.
