Magnus Modulus tails wiring

Just like the title says. I'm completely stuck on how to wire the tails switch for the Magnus Modulus. Can anyone bail me out? The way I have it, the thing feeds back uncontrollably and, while the effect is cool, I don't think that's what it's supposed to do. And just looking at the pictures in the project files, there aren't many contrasting colors to help decode what's going on. Any help? ]

**edit: To be more specific: I'm using a 3PDT. I'm using one pole as for the two wires coming from the "Delay Tails Switch" pad on the board. I'm thinking one pole is used for the LED although I don't have that hooked up yet.

Orient your 3pdt so the lugs are in columns (like you could drop a lead through all three lugs from the top)
solder the two tails wires to the center and top lugs of one of those columns. Thats it. The tails switch just chops off the input to the delay line and leaves the dry signal just going through the buffers.

Yep, works great! I had it like that originally, but didn't understand which stomps to step on to get the desired effect. Got it now! Thanks!

so the tails switch could be replaced with an spst ?
I saw another layout somewhere that had a connection to ground of the output jack and a resistor going to the board.
