Hi guys,

I have an old Morley Power Wah and I want to add LED's with 3DPT's.
These are the original footswitches:


and what I've done so far:


I tapped into the 25V rail to power the LEDs. If I ground the (-) on teh chassi, they light up fine.
I'm just having issues figuring out the proper way to wire the new switch.

Hey Jonny, I used to have an old morely power boost wah, But since I don't have one in front of me any more I don't know what each wire goes too. Did a short search on the net for a pic with labels but no luck, I'm sure theres one out there though.

Anyway you can still figure this out , One switch you have there should be wired like a regular bypass dpdt switch and the other is for the boost option or what ever option your model has.

Here's a link to how the switches work

And Here's a bunch of ways to wire your bypass switch.

You should be able to wire it the same pretty much and use the extra row of lugs to flip the ground on the led's ... I think ... Good luck.
