Replacing 3P2T footswitch with 2P2T toggle switch

Folks,

I'm working on an unusual project - building a MKII Tonebender clone into a Danelectro DC59  :P -  and I was hoping to get some advice on switch wiring.

I've build the kit and it's working beautifully, but I'm hoping to replace the standard foot-switch with a toggle switch.  The problems is the standard footswitch has three poles (9 pins)  and the toggle only has two poles (6 pins). Is it possible to rewire the configuration?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :icon_rolleyes:

Cheers,
Gert

You can use the DPDT toggle if you don't mind losing the LED.

There are other options such as connecting the Tonebender circuit "non true bypass" or purchasing a 3PDT toggle switch.
I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)

Thanks. I've lost the LED and will give it a spin.

Or use 2pdt with millennium bypass or just buy a 3pdt toggle switch to wire as your working pedal.

Please at least have 1 forum post before sending me a PM demanding something.

Thanks Ice-9! I'll give the millennium circuit a try.
