I have a Dunlop bass wah from '83, I run a 6 band eq directly after it and am wanting to also run a channel select to use as a blend pedal. Since it has no extra buffers before or after the switch, love the true bypass lol, I was thinking about trying to add in a send/return loop using a stereo 1/4" jack, this way I could run those both or separately in series and not have to do an impossible dance to turn things on/off all at once. I have an amp that uses this system, in which when there is nothing plugged in it disconnects the loop but when plugged in uses it and then you use a special 1/4" stereo to two 1/4" mono cable. Any way... what 1/4" stereo jack do I need and how do I wire it?

Will this work:

Thanx for any help

A standard stereo switched jack will work. I don't have the ability to draw something now at work, but it's pretty straightforward.

For some reason, I was reminded of this...
