SPDT Footswitch ?

[Perkla]

They can be shut off permanently only if you use a external toggle ( after the footswitch ) ... Don't even think of a 4PDT ... that won't help 

Yes.. but i think i am ok with it.. i mean that its ok that one color is allways lighted up, my pedal is in general not designed for battery..

Then that will be fine , most pedals i design are for battery , but i always always omit a battery .
Well i could use the LED +9v from the existing 3PDT footsw and wire it to this footsw so if the pedal is disengaged , it is off too 
I actually attempted to see if a 4PDT would work in eagle ... clearly not ... ON-OFF-ON would be desirable but of course nobody makes such footswitches , so taking the lead from existing LED +9v is a good thing ( right from the footsw where you take the LED +9v not the resistor . )

Listen.. there u said something... to wire the clipping footsw from the main switsh.. so when the pedal is in bypass-mode its impossible to get the clipping diode to light up, but as soon as u activate the pedal it opens the channels and its possible to activate the clipping LED.. this is of course for the LED and not for the clipping it self.  Do u have a clue how to do that ?

Umm.. sorry but i cant read schematics... but maybe i can use a signal from the 3PDT that activates the pedal.. the same that is for the LED that lights up when the pedal is ON.. ? Just solder a cable on the same cable and have that soldered on the clipping 3PDT for the LED...so when det pedal is in OFF mode.. its not possible to light up the clipping LED...

If only i had a 3PDT on the spot to show you , i haven't recieved my supplies yet ...

Wait.. i have solder something.. just something little that could be what i am looking for.. i am gona record it and give u a link in a sec..

No.. it didnt work..   well.. it was a nice try anyway.. so now i dont know how to get signal from the main 3PDT when its on.. and no signal when its off.. :S

Well i'm surprised how far i got just learning how to read and write schematics ... anyway , if you understood my horrible schematic , then all's good ... but you don't ...

Its not u... it me.. BIG TIME... FAIL.. i cant read schematics what so ever.. so even if u are a pro on writing schematics i would still not understand.. :S

I'll do it on DIYLC layout style tomorrow for you ... have to go bed now (4 AM FOREVER !)

Thats cool.. for me its to the right.. i live in europe.. and i am about to travel to singapore with my gf this upcomming summer, at the end of June, and also visit Indonesia in July where my gf´s dad lives..

[Perkla]

Maybe its not possible to get the signal like on/off from a 3PDT switch.. ?

Anyway i got it done for you .

Europe's on the right ?

[Perkla]

That is not how my 3PDT switch is soldered now... :S

This is what it looks like

Yes.. wow u are right about that.. depending if you are standing with your eyes north or south..

... Basically wire your new 2LED ground to the ground of the old LED
