Does anyone have a wiring schematic for 3 effects (3 footswitches) in 1 enclosure?

Just pretend you have three separate pedals side by side, then remove all the jacks except the two on the very outside, which become the input and output to your new 'multi-pedal'.

Link the effects together where you have removed the 'in-between' jacks, so that the output from the first pedal becomes the input to the next footswitch, etc.

Finally, link all the positives together, link all the 0v rails together - et voila ! You've done it !

I've done a couple of '5-pedal' pedals - if you need inspiration, look for my 'Super-Hoochie-Zen-o-Klon' and/or 'CompElectraPepperGraphiKlon' under the K.L.O.N.E.D section.

Good luck.
