Hello,

I wanted to build two independently switchable circuits into one enclosure. In other words a "Stage A" with a footswitch to turn it on/off... going into a "Stage B" with a footswitch to turn it on/off. My guess with the wiring would be to wire like this...

In > Stage A 'in' > Stage A 'out' > Stage B 'in > Stage B 'out' > Out

How would I do this with two 3pdt switches? (I don't want to use a dpdt). Would I wire the Input jack to Stage A with the output jack to Stage B, and wire the output lug of Stage A to the input lug of Stage B? Or do both Stages get their Inputs/Outputs wired to the input/output jacks...?

Please forgive my total cluelessness, I have plenty of experience building circuits, but zero experience building two in the same enclosure...

Thanks for the help!
