 Hey guys, I just finished the Monte Alumm mods on my pedal, thing sounds AWESOME! Now the next step is to get the 3pdt switch wired in, I tried wiring it in last night using a generic 3pdt wiring diagram but didnt have any success.. Anyone have any pics or anything that will help me get this right?  Thanks in advance!

I found this picture from a guy who offers this wiring as a service, The input and Output and jumper are straight forward, Now what about the red and black in the corners.. I'd assume these were the 2 wires from the original switch, but how do I wire the LED and get it to all work.. sorry I'm really anxious to get this done!

The red and black wires are to turn the LED off and on

Sorry if I step in slightly off topic...

I recently won an ebay auction and got a TS9DX as new for 40euro shipped.
While waiting I planned to make some mods, true bypass included.

I built several true bypass loopers and I play from more then 18 years so I guess I can discern when my guitar sounds "different" in a switched off buffered pedal.

Well I'll definitively NOT make the true bypass mod to my TS9DX since I put it in a true bypass looper and really, really can't hear any noticeable nor subtle change in the sound if true bypassed or not...

I tested the TS9DX with a Laney L5T, a Fender American Statocaster and a Gibson Les Paul Junior Special.

I think the same could be valid for a TS808 reissue so... is it really nesessary?

P.S.: I know with a lot of pedals chained the situation could be different...
