Wiring up the 3pdt to my GE7 (I have the power modded to be on)

[msurdin]

I am trying to wire up a 3pdt switch to my GE7 now. Obviously making it true bypass.
I'm stuck and not sure how i should wire it up.

It would be great if someone could give me a hand on this..

Thanks Guys!

why not just use a heavy duty momentary switch?

or still on the whole "it has to be true bypassed" thing?

  Take the input and output from around the input and output jacks.
  Inside the box you'll be faced with mounting the switch/
  outside the box is a solder free job for the pedal.
  but it involves building a Loop bypass pedal.
  For TB wiring, see GGG.
  input and output signals will be present on the input and output jacks, tip lugs.

Well I already modded my pedal to stay always on. I dont like those momentary style switches..

I'm eventualy taking the board out of the enclosure and putting it in a big multi effects unit

Thanks for the help guys

I have been looking at the board and this diagram http://generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/switch_lo_3pdt_tb_dcjack.gif
I'm still stuck on how to wire it up. I'm not sure what wires to put where as I'm not sure what eash one is for. I had trouble reading the schematic.

I hope its not too much to ask

Thanks

If you're ending up with not understanding that drawing...
STOP and continue only when you're confident again in what you're doing and why you do it.

Other than the fact that I don't understand why to TB a pedal like a GE7 other than for fashion reasons?

I dont like using spst switch and its going in a big multi effects unit

I'm assuming the GE7 has the input and output jacks attached to the circuit board with wires like all the Boss pedals I've got. If it has then all you need to do is find the wire that is attached to the tip of the input jack socket, that becomes the green wire on the ggg picture. The wire going to the tip of the output jack socket becomes the purple wire. If there's a wire attached to the ring of one of the sockets you can probably remove this as it's just to switch the battery off when there's no jack is inserted. If removing it stops the pedal working connect it to ground instead.
If there's wires attached to either of the sleeves of the jack sockets then these will be connected to ground so use them as the "Board grounds" on the ggg picture. If there aren't any wires attached to the sleeves you'll need to find somewhere on the circuit board that's ground and use that as "Board ground" instead.
I guess if you're putting this in a pedal board then you won't be using jack sockets so instead attach the brown wire to the output of the pedal before the GE7 and the grey wire to the input of the next effect.

Once you've figured out which wires are which it should be easy enough to follow the ggg picture
