Rehousing an Ibanez CS-9

[atff]

Hi All,

I am totally new to the DIY thing, I just did a couple of mods using kits I purchased, now I want to try a few things on my own.

This is a wonderful site,  I have learned a lot from these excellent resources. But I need some help, very basic help.

I have a Ibanez, CS-9 that works fine but the case is beat up pretty bad and I wood like to put it in a 1590DD. For the most part this is straight forward but I wanted to find out how I can wire a new foot new switch to it since I will probably no longer be able to use the original ibanez switch in the 1590DD.

I am not worried about doing this True Bypass, I just want to be able to turn the unit on and off. I have a couple of 3pdt switches kicking around, can I use them? What should I use? How to wire it in?

Thanks in advance,

ATFF

Use a momentary switch in place of the old switch and the original witching will work. Otherwise, locate the switching FET's for effect signal and replace em with a piece of wire going from drain to source. Take the Bypass fet's out. After that, rewire input and output in a standard TB configuration.

one last question,
Why such an enormous box?  Quite a chance you'll be able to get the stuff in a 1590B and definitely in a 1590BB?

Thanks Dirk,

Typo - it is a 1590BB.

The momentary switch you mentioned, I assume that has 2 leads?

Can I add a couple of jumpers to a 3pdt (since I have a couple already) to
make it work?
