I've been working on rehousing my tuna melt using the guide at the gear page (http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=152311) and have finished everything shown, but the final part of the guide doesn't really go into detail about how to wire up the 3pdt switch. I tried it myself and it bypasses, but it's a little muddy sounding, and when you activate the switch nothing happens.

Basically, I just need to know where to wire the off-board components, mainly the footswitch and power adapter. I'm pretty confident in my actual soldering/desoldering.

There is this picture

but I need some more detail / where these are on the board

Ah, so someone did try it out. Alright mueller, i'll try and find my pics to give you a bit more detail. I had thought it was detailed enough, my bad.

Thanks. It's not your fault, I'm still learning this DIY stuff...I built a BYOC kit, but that was more of a 'paint by numbers' thing. Your instructions would be sufficient for someone with a little more experience than I me.

Here we go. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. Let me know if there's still more you need.



I forgot which side was the input and which was the output. If it doesn't work you could try swapping them.

I did understand that already, but thanks. I guess I just would like to see a higher res picture like the one in my second post. I'm not exactly sure what wires go to what lugs on the switch and what is connected to the jack tips and sleeves. It seems like there are more wires than you have labeled there.

Thanks again, I'm excited to finish this.

In that case, you might wanna just follow tonepad's layout, wiring diagram 5.

Just ignore the input jack ring and battery snaps if you're not planning to use batteries.
