3pdt/dpdt

[Deep Blue]

I'm building a simple passive looper simply by copying the wiring of one I already have.  I've done this before, and it usually works fine.

But the one I have uses a dpdt for bypass, but all I have on hand is 3pdt.  I don't mind using 3pdt, but I'm not sure how to wire it.  Can I wire it the same, but pretend one row of lugs don't exist, or something like that?  Does anyone have an article or something that would explain this to me?

Thanks.

Exactly.

Since you have an extra pole on the switch now, you could also use that to switch a status LED if you wanted.

Take care,

Just ignore one set

the whole idea is that it's just 3 simultaneous switches operated by the one stomp. Look in the beginner project forum, there's a good explanation there:
