Hey, I'm new to this forum and attempted to find this with a search but couldn't find it. Sorry I'm sure this has come up before.


I'm trying to put together a 2 in 1 pedal. Its a fuzz + tremolo in a wah enclosure with the rate controlled by the wah pot. I'm trying to wire it so both can be engaged when I stomp it on but also have a 3 way switch so I can choose to have each on independently when I stomp. This is my first attempt at a 2 in 1 and was wondering if you guys have advice for how to wire it.

Thanks! Dave

Well, this may be the dumb answer but you could definitely do it with two stomp switches. Just like as if you had two independent pedals.

Switch 1 - effect 1, switch 2 - effect 2.

Stomp both, you get both, and so on  ;)

This is probably simplest, in my opinion.   I'm sure you can rig up a toggle to set "1 on, 2 off....2 on, 1 off...both on" and then stomp, but really, it's only one small foot move with 2 independent stomp switches!

Another vote for two footswitches to give you independent on/off for each pedal. The only question that leaves you is what order to put the two effects in...

Common sense  :o imposes for setting Fuzz in front of Tremolo..
(but you can try them with aligator clips in place of Jack_IN - Jack_OUT lugs before final setting..)
