Wondering if anyone can help with a quick wiring diagram?

Want to put two separate fuzz faces (silicon/germanium) in one box.... clean/effect controlled by a 3PDT foot switch, with a DPDT toggle switching between the two boards.

Scroll down, find "two effects in 1 box wiring".  That's the standard way to do it. You CAN use a DPDT, but might want to use millenium bypass to have an LED, or wait to get a 3PDT for that reason.    This setup is totally true bypass, and is THE way to go...

Thanks Mike, But is there a way to do it with just a single footswith, as there will never be a need to have both effects on at the same time, and just toggle what board output goes to the output jack?

You could do it easily with a DPDT toggle switch. The common centre lugs go to the in and out wires of the 3PDT Bypass switch, then the two lugs of each side go to one or the other circuits. The principle is essentially the same as any other DPDT switch, regardless of what kind of switch you use (toggle, stomp) the wiring is the same. If you want an LED, you need to use a 3PDT toggle.
