Boss Bypass with a non-boss circuit in a Boss enclosure

hi all,

anyone know if someone has made a veroboard with just the boss fet switching on it to wire onto a seperate circuit.

a buddy of mine wants to use the existing boss enclosure and switch, but wants a non-boss circuit on vero grafted in.

anyone else done something similar with a different switching circuit using just the boss switch?

cheers

I have several different switching circuits in this thread that allow different effect cores to be switched:

Due to the change of image hosting, the schematics are reproduced in the last post of the thread.

The Boss circuit should work as long as you maintain the input and output voltages and impedances used in the Boiss circuits.  Their actuator schematic has had some minor changes over the years but they should all work.

you could also throw in a relais and some logic to have true bypass, if you want that.

cheers, Iain
friendly reminder: all holes are positive and have negative weight, despite not being there.
