ahoy.  k, here's what i wanna do...  a TB/FB box with two LED indicators.
essentially, i'm attempting to combine this:

and this:

what i want to do is have the toggle switch light a red light when its switched to a TB box, and a green light when it's switched to  feedback loop mode, and for both lights to be off when the box is bypassed.  but there just one problem-  i'm stupid!!! :D!!!  what kind of switches would i need?  is it as simple as a 3pdt stomp and dpdt on-on toggle?  i need help with the wiring...  i tried drawing it out but failed miserably.  i think its cuz both designs wire the 3pdt so differently, and cuz my brain is filled with biological psychology at the moment :oops:

And believe it or not, i still dont see how i'd wire it!  :D

I want the stomp switch to turn off the LEDs when the unit is bypassed, so i'd have to connect the battery's current to one of the lugs on that one, no?  i mean, i see how i can just change the toggle to dpdt and light one LED at a time with the 9V connected there, but then the 3pdt wouldnt turn them both off...  and all the 3pdt is taken up with what i assume are all necessary connections...

:shock:  please tell me i wouldnt need a 4pdt to do this  :(

Huh, I never noticed he had it wired like that 3pdt... I think he must be grounding the send.  Yeah, in this case unfortunately you'd need a 4pdt, which you can't get.  Rewire it like Ansil.

P.S. It'd be cool if you could post questions on the thread over there as a reference to those who look at it later...

:x crap!  well, im not about to drop 20 bucks just for a 4pdt.  bah, screw LEDs, i'm sure i'll be able to hear the huge difference in sound when the thing is on/off or in true bybass/feedback loop modes.  oh well, thanks anyhow

The Thundering Bay huh? My old band played in a really cool bar in the downtown area. Do you think I can remeber the name of it right now? Of course not. Cool to see some more Ontarions here.
