Reet Chaps....

Apparently I've either forgotten how to read or how to use the search function cause I'm damn sure I found a post on this before..... :scratch:

I'm looking to do a BOR clone using 2 3pdt switches...

I Wire them using http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/though ... p-a-1590b/.

Would I be right in thinking that I would connect the output lug on one 3pdt to the input of t'other? like in the pic below?

Image

Brown = to effect Circuit
Green = Direct to Output/Input
Black = Not sure why I put it in... :lol:

Red = is what I'm talking about!!

Would it just be a case of connecting each effect as normal to the switch, then connect with this red bit of wire? I have somewhere something that tells me how to power it from one 9v socket too...

Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, you just connect them in series like that, but you drew the wiring wrong. Here are 2 ways of wiring it.

Hi Brink. Nice Drawing. :applause:

Was wondering if I could use your pic on my site / blog? Obviously, credit given.

Mail me with your details if this is OK: :secret:

Just for completeness, is there any reason you would want to use one method than the other. I'm trying to figure it out, but they both look like they do same-same.

Best. Steve.
