3PDT PCB

[ParlorCitySound]

Awhile back I saw a layout for a small PCB to sit on foot switches to avoid the tight wiring. Hoping somone has it. I searched for awhile, but to no avail. Thanks!

I have a component I drew on altium in my library. But it would only work with that software, do you want it?

do you mean this

I understand them from a production point of view, but to me wiring up a 3PDT is very satisfying. Routing the wires neatly, getting all the solder joints done right... I really enjoy the offboard wiring.

I don't remember a layout, but I do remember the pedal. The pedal was the "peach fuzz" and the board was proffesional with screen printing and all. It's a simple idea but the cost may be high relative to the value. I mean I know I could solder up a switch faster than I could etch and drill a board. And then there is still soldering to be done after the etch and drill.  Then the question becomes how much are you/we willing to spend for the easier soldering job IF the board could be purchased.

Thanks Arma61, that is the link I was looking for.

I think the idea of the PCB is really slick. I'm not sure if I will go with the board or not. Chances are they are more reliable; however, cost effetiveness comes to mind. Maybe I will give it a shot and if I like it, sweet. It will only cost me a couple bucks.

They just look bulky and fiddly to me. More cost, more solder joints and less space for actual circuit PCB.

u r welcome!

some time I include the 3PDT directly on my pcb layout, like in this case, so that the switch hangs the pcb, and short wires to the pots.

You have a ***$6000.00*** design automation package?   

[Andi]

Blimey.

I had no idea DIYers were so cheap about their software.

I like the idea, but since you end up with just as many wire connections, it doesn't really make your life much easier. I try to put as much of the off board stuff as possible into my PCB designs.

Maybe you meant the boards Railhead did up? http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=69574.0

I have a few left if you want. I'd let go cheap. $1/board + actual postage. I think I've got about 5 left. They're quite nice to work with.

People pay $6000 for "off the shelf" software?



I would think you could get a bespoke package for that!

[nfxpedals]

haha, Sorry it's just the software I use at work.

[Andi]

I got an $1800 conversion package for $120 just by asking nicely a couple of months ago.

If anyone wants a few 3PDT PCBs, just send me a SASE, I have hundreds (thousands?) of extra ones as we get four of them tacked onto each KoT board.
