I hate to admit it, but I'm still at a fairly paint-by-numbers phase in my pedal building.  I just finished a Runoff Groove Fetzer Valve (Fenderiffic!).  It works great, but I can't get it to bypass properly. :icon_rolleyes:  I used the template from the General Guitar Gadgets OSQ as the basis for the wiring of my 3PDT switch, which is obviously not right.  Can anyone throw me a workable diagram or "gut shot" photo of the switch on a working Fetzer?

If I use a layout that shows a way to wire a bypass switch, I always ignore it and just use this old diagram from Aron. Never had a bypass problem. All you have to do is wire the tips of input and output jacks to the outer middle lugs, the input and output of the circuit to the outer top lugs, and then the LED. I believe on the Fetzer Valve, the output of the circuit is the third lug of the volume pot, IIRC. I hope this helps.

Your link didn't come through, but I do know the diagram you are referring to.  I'll give it a whirl, thanks!
