Boys - I need your assistance.

From some time I have a idea and needs to have two of my fav fuzzes in one box. The idea includes switching/shifting between one fuzz or the other using one switch, and bypass of all using second switch. I've draw the layout of what I think may work, but often I'm getting confused when it comes to PNP circuits with 3PDT switches. Anyway - have a look, do you think it may run that way?

Layout includes two well know repro fuzz circuits, I'll do my own draw - more personal on one piece of vero - as soon as I take care of the wiring

Thanks
Pawel

i think that you placed the ground and input wrong on the TRS jack

here is my take on 2 switches (sw1>bypass and fx on, sw2>fx1 and fx2)

omitted the LED indicators on the center lugs

:slap: forgot to connect lug B3 to A2 on switch 1 (E$1) so the input of the fx is grounded when by-passed

I Believe you meant B3 to A1 cause bypassing the effect now will cause the input of the guitar to be grounded,
also C3 on E$2 needs to be output 2.

:secret:
i remember that i asked about something with this idea.

i think that it is overkill to ground the inputs of fx1 and fx on switch 2

i never have actually built this :oops:
