Hello all,

I've never wired a 3PDT in this manner, so hoping someone can explain it or post a helpful layout.

On the "9V" lug, am I taking it directly from PCB?

You may take +9V from wherever you wish for but it should be more convenient to switch LED via GND ..

Thank you Antonis.

If I take PCB 9v to switch like the diagram, do I still take PCB to DC jack?

But of course ..!!  :icon_wink:

PCB 9V comes from DC jack 9V in the way: DC jack -> PCB -> Switch -> 3k9 resistor -> LED (Anode ->  Cathode) -> GND

What is that for? It refers to buffer out and fx out going to the same pin on the switch... need more info to understand.

Klon is a little different, has an odd grounding point in mid circuit to kill the distorted path or turn the LED on....
