Idiot's guide to wiring?

[geekmacdaddy]

Greetings, people with much more knowledge than myself,
I would like to build a box using the Modified Dallas RangeMaster (NPN) off the Gallery's design, but I just can't figure out how to wire it with; a 3PDT switch, an AC input, and an LED. The layout's left side shows Output, +9V, Ground, Input, and sw1a, the right side; Boost 2, Boost 1, sw1 Pole, Boost 3, and sw1 b. Can someone help?

Many Thanks

Here's a pic from General Guitar Gadgets showing how to wire a 3PDT with battery, DC jack and LED.

If your circuit os positive ground then use this:

thank you Jimmy,
I'm having some trouble understanding (NPN version) the Board/Ground/9V+ 4 hole config....red ground? Which is which? Can you help clear that up for me? Yes, I'm an embarrassed newbie.

Welcome to the forum!

Please don't be embarrassed. We all started with the same amount of knowledge and we learned the rest over time. Nobody here cares what you do or don't know so long as you have a willingness to learn.

Could you please post a link to the schematic you're using?

I couldn't find the address for the exact RangeMaster layout i want to use, but if someone could explain how to wire a box with an LED, AC, and Battery for this PNP Rangemaster, I'd really appreciate it....thanks again.
