Is there anyway to have only two switches (one DPDT or 3DPT, and the other momentary) while still having the same function?
No toggle switches, only two foot switches.

As this is my first schematic/pedal please help anyway possible with improvements etc.
I'm a noob.  ;D

welcome, MM.

you're nearly there. is your momentary a "NO", "NC" or changeover? if it has an n/c and an n/o, it needs a common to connect between them. if it only has 2 lugs, I think yr drawn looks ok.
Hey, Scoop - how's your security clearance?

Check your Signal level there, Scoop - I thought you said witchhunt.

This is just an idea, I have no parts yet.
The schematic I drew has 3 switches, DPDT, NC momentary, NO momentary. The DPDT changes the line between the two switches.
I need help to somehow use two switches, one DPDT, and the other some kind of momentary.

Would either of these work?

If so, how would It be wired?
Like I said, I'm a noob.  Thanks for your patience.  :icon_redface:

MM, have a look through this thread, I think it might clarify some of your thinkings:

and it'll save me some typings.

a double throw switch (DT) will have a normally open contact and a normally closed contact. you would only need one double pole switch to do what it is that you're confusing me with.

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed.
I will hopefully build this in the next few weeks and post pictures.
