Hey guys ... i run into a little problem here (there are 2 problems to be exact):
1. I would like to have a TS808 and a Clean booster in the same box with 2 sw for each of them (now this is easy to do :) ). Now the problem is: is there any way to use a 2PDT switch to choose if the booster will be pre or post TS808 ?
2. Lets say that i have a delay(tonepad robote 2.5) and a clean booster in the same box and i would like this: When the boost is engaged you will have the posibility to engage the delay too, but if the boost is off you can't select delay (and delay will be off) - is it possible to do that with 2 x 3pdt switches? or is there any other method?

Lots of thanks in advance.
Best regards,

I don't think you can do 1 with a 2PDT, the examples I've seen like Beavis's order switcher or R.G's juggleruse more poles. You could do one of those with a 3PDT if you don't need the LED.

Probably the simplest way to do 2 is have one switch that bypasses the delay, and connect the booster before or after it, which ever you want. Then have a second master bypass switch that bypasses them both.
That way the delay can only be used when the booster is on.

Thank you a lot slaker for your answer. I will use a 3pdt switch for the order problem (the toggle model) and the 2nd solution for the 2nd problem it's what i need. Thank you 1000x for this.
