will this switchi work? it was originally drawn by KHE, it is the switch of the DB-01. i wanna do something similar. just to add another led. i've used CircuitMaker to tet this schematic, but it doesn't work. does anybody knows if this switch is correct or how can i improve it (2nd LED), so i can start orderin' parts..

D1 and D2 should go backwards (sounds weird at first, but that's the standard way, check it on some Boss schems). The FETs are N-Channel right?

The switch is a latching one I suppose. In that case I don't know if the 1M resistor is high enough to keep the transistor closed when the switch is not pressed.

I suppose too that the input signal goes to an input buffer and then to the BP input and the FX input.

I think the Led should be backwards and pointing to GND not Vcc, so the Led is lit when the FX is engaged.

Anyway you should try it on the breadboard.

Luck! Hope this helps
