Building a Buffer with Tuner Out

[Giglawyer]

I am building a Buffer with a "tuner out" option.  I found this - http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=23736.0 - and thought I could use it.  I am tryiing to figure out how to wire the darn thing, though.  Do I just run the green "to amp" wire to the board input, and then run the board output and ground to the "to amp" jack?  Or is it mor complicated than this?

Thanks for your help!

i'm no expert but i reckon you should treat the input jack on the diagram as your pcb.
ie in the place of the input jack put your pcb out.

i might have got this wrong i'm going back to check how its wired.

yep it switches the earth connection on and off to the two output jacks (to tuner, to amp)
does this make sense?

No...But perhaps I need to draw it out so see what you mean...LOL...

well put it this way it's intended as a stand alone passive A/B with led indicators.
say A goes to amp and B goes to tuner.
if you want to incorporate it into an already existing stomp box you would still have your normal guitar in to the pcb/bypass as per then on the out of the effect pcb you put this device.
btw i was wrong about it switching the ground off its the signal it switchs oops
take a ground wire from the pcb (black wire on the diagram) and the signal from your on/bypass switch (which would normally go to the out put jack) and solder it to the left centre lug on the second switch in the diagram (second switch controls your A/B)
clear as mud

That makes sense now.  Thanks!

if i have it right. someone good will be along soon and hopefully clear it up.

I would put the buffer circuit between the input jack ( green sig. wire )and the center input lug in the stomp switch .

So the  guitar sig. would enter the buffer , then continue out to the stomp switch etc etc .

Also , i would increase your 1k resistors to 2.2k - 3.9k if your using a power supply or wall wart .

And this build might benefit from the use of pull down resistors to ensure quite operation ( No Popping during switching !)

Cool!  Thanks.
