Running 2 PNP effects from a single battery in one enclosure?

I'm trying to install a PNP fuzz and a PNP treble booster in a single enclosure with separate 3PDT switches and LED indicators. I want to use a single 9v battery with no DC tap. Can anyone point me toward a wiring diagram or something? I've looked, but I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for.

I also want to install a battery on/off switch. Do I need to get a on/off DPDT or what?

Thanks in advance.

it's the same as wiring 2 negative ground circuits except you reverse the battery - use the battery + as ground and - as "positive"...

for a battery on/off switch just use an spst, spdt, dpdt, whatever you have on hand - simply break the connection from the "positive" voltage to the circuit board (in this case, you would be breaking the battery -)

using the separate 3pdts is also simple.  first figure out which order you want the effects to be in.  just wire the first switch normally except for the output to the jack; instead, use that as the input of the second switch then wire the output of the second switch to your output jack.
