Happy new year to everyone.

I'm looking to wire 2 effects in the same box with a 4pdt to switch between them, with status LED  for each an master bypass,
Can someone please clarify i got this right?

Thanks

Yes, this will work, and the A/B switch will ground the input of the non-selected side.  When the Master is in bypass mode, the Master switch will ground the input of the selected side as well.

(If you can get by without grounding the input of the non-selected side when the pedal is active, you could use a 3PDT for A/B instead of a 4PDT.)

Thanks Mike, and happy new year,

Already try it, with a 4PDT i had, and it works like a charm!
