Rangemaster Switch Question

[wildebelor]

If I wanted to add a on / off toggle switch (3 pole) in true bypass - where would I add it in this layout?



Still getting used to where things go etc haha 

Thanks in advance!

Well, a 3PDT STOMP switch for true bypass (yes, you can also use a toggle if you want) would involve the input and output wires.   And your V+ for an LED if you wanted one.

At least, that's what I THINK your question is?  You can use any schematic for a true bypass switch, you only need to use the in/output wires.

Well actually I was interested in using the same toggle style switch as the original range master.
I have a bunch of SPDT mini toggles like this
was wondering where I would insert it into the layout?

Thanks!

wilde, the on/off toggle shown in yr pic would be a single pole, double throw switch, and is one pole short of doing true true bypass.



looking at the double pole, double throw above, short a,b together with a wire link. signal in to d means f goes to the circuit input. circuit output connects to e, and output signal comes from c.

is that what you mean?

Yeah duck_arse! that is exactly what I was looking for!
P.S Looking forward to the next part of the bending tutorial!

Oh and just to be sure - no grounds go to the switch?

[duck_arse]

no grounds to the switch. they are all connected to the board, 0V, no?

out of interest, where/how is this rangemaster being mounted, that it doesn't use a footswitch, and you haven't asked "the led question"?

[Kipper4]

you haven't asked "the led question"?

[wildebelor]

oh no what is the "led question"?  it's some kind of sick joke isn't it!
hahaha!

well rangemaster is on tagboard, mounted in an enclosure similar to the original.  No stomp switch as the on/off is a toggle like the original too!

Still cannot for the life of me figure out why it's so quiet!
