Hello all.  I'm a "newbie" here and just getting into the art of making pedal so bear with me at the ease of my question.  I want to make my own FS-6 to fit my pedal board.  I know they take momentary swtiches and a stereo jack, I was just wondering the wiring of the thing.  I don't need any LED's on it so it won't need power.  Any help would be great.  Thanks.

I'm sorry, I guess I should of have been more specific.  I want to have two switches, one to bank up and one to bank down (it's for the Boss ME-50) and I intend on hard wiring the cable to it as opposed to using an input jack.  I guess that's all.  Thanks again.

 Sounds like all ya need is to test the momentary switches to see if your ME-50 wants to see momentary on, or momentary off. try using the stereo cord, and short the tip to ground for a sec, see if it changes patches, then do the same with the ring. Probably momentary on will work for both. then just... wire up 2 momentary switches. You could put em in a hammond enclosure(one switch for tip, one for ring, common ground), use a stereo out, and not have to worry about hard wiring it.
I am not responsible for your imagination.
