Hi folks, I've built quite a few pedals with great success by sometimes i can't get my head round the wiring options available and always refer to my printed sheets or the net for reference.
What i was wondering was could i use the Dual volume mod in the Dragonfly layout gallery in any drive pedal i choose to make and if so can i still have the original on/off footswitch also, if its possible how would i wire the two switches from the one circuit board or is there a drawing i can refer to, cheers Crawf.

Yes, you can use it with any pot. 

I'm not positive I understand your question, but if you want to use this to control two master volume pots, the post on the switch labeled "output" would go to the bypass switch, and the wire from the output of the effect would go to the post labeled "input".

How to wire the bypass switch would not change and can be found here if you search.

Thanks Tcobretti, sorry if my explanation wasn't very clear, what i would like to do is add a boost function to an existing pedal i have built or to incorporate it into one i'm about to built and when i saw Dragonfly's mod i thought that was what i was looking for but could'nt figure out where the wiring between both and the circuit board and switches would connect, if i had or could find a drawing similar to Dragonfly's but with two switches i could probably get it ok, hopes this is clearer,thanks again Crawf.

Well, the actual effect output goes into the input for Dragonfly's Dual Volume control, then the output of that goes to the post marked "effect output" on the diagram below.

I use the version in the top left corner.
