I've been working on this SHO/Orman dual effect pedal on and off for a while now.  And I'm stumped w/ the wiring...

I want it so when you step on the foot switch one boost comes on and then you can toggle the other boost in/out w/ the toggle switch.  But what happens is  the effect w/ the toggle switch stays on when you turn the footswitch effect off.  I'm no expert at wiring, but I've become pretty damn familiar w/ that 3PDT wiring w/ this project, and I'm starting to think the only way to do what I want is w/ a 4PDT footswitch, or maybe w/ the 3PDT footswitch and a 3PDT toggle(?)

I've tried multiple ways of wiring and I can get one effect on, both effects on w/ no bypass signal, etc, etc.  But I can't "simply" put the second boost in the signal and have it out of the signal when I go back to bypass mode unless I toggle it back to the "effect off" position.

Any ideas?

I think I got my answer at another forum.  Haven't wired it up yet, but at first (and second, and third...) glance it looks to make sense.  For anyone who's interested:

I'm pretty sure it's true bypass as the 3PDT turns on both the circuits.  But how would the momentary switch work in your plan?  Wouldn't it only work when you stepped down on the switch?
