Bypass Pedal Idea - Need Help!
- kinski
- Resistor Ronker
So, i'd like to build a truebypass pedal that has two foot switches on it.
One latching switch and one momentary swith. And then a toggle to choose between the latching or momentary.
This would be a pretty usefull box for me. Momentary could allow for fast on and off of various pedals, and the latching would allow for the standard "fixed" on and off.
LED is not totally needed, but certainly preferred.
A side option. This would be best, but I get the feeling its not really possible. To ditch the toggle and have both switches (latching and momentary) somehow but functioning at the same time. So I could choose to step on either one and any time and have them work, without needing to use the toggle to choose.
I'd love if someone could help me out with this.

And ditch the toggle and use a latching and a non-latching switch?

S2: Non latching

Dirk, you are my hero! I greatly appreciate you drawing this up for me. However, I have to embarrassingly admit that I'm not quite sure how to read it. I get that the numbers are the lugs of each switch, but I don't quite get what the wiring is for them.

My pleasure
But what you're asking is your learning challenge.
A DPDT switch (regardless of latching or not) has 2 sections where the middle contact switches to either the one or the other outer lug. Now you study how this relates to the schem above. And belive me, it's really simple.

Hi Kinski,
I just came across this post and wondered if you'd figured it out yet, as Dirk suggested.
In case you haven't, I've knocked up a wiring diagram from Dirk's schematic (which gave me a chance to find out how to use ActivePaint.
Hope it's of use, but if not, I had fun anyway.

Hey, so I finally had some time to put this thing together. Thanks so much Dirk and Lucifer! This is a very useful pedal for me. Especially the momentary option!
