Hi all!! New round here.
I'd like to build the Zombie Chorus with Solderman layout

http://solderman.fatabur.se/Never%20Min ... 20file.pdf

but I have a couple of doubts. First of all, which switch should I use, SPDT or ON OFF ON?

On the other hand, I've benn searching for schematics to wire it, but since it mounts an onboard 3pdt and led I'm totally lost.
Could anybody help me with this? This is the thing:

Unless I missed something, the only switch I noticed on the schematic was a simple on/off switch for the 'clone mode'.
A spst would be fine....you can use the spdt as well if you have that already. As far as the wiring, I see 'in' and 'out'
pads labeled. I assume the ground uses one of the green pads along the right side and the +9V uses that red pad near
the top next to C9. Since your stompswitch is already wired, see Madbean's link as an example of how to wire the jacks
and other offboard parts:

In this case the input and output jacks would go their respected 'in' and 'out' pads on the board. The rest should be the same.

Ignore the wiring to and from the 4k7 resistor and LED, they are not used in this case. Also, the wire on the sleeve of the
input jack would go the one of the green ground pads on the board (it will be directed to the switch from there).

Thank you very much for your answer. I really appreciate it. So, if I'm not wrong, the conections would be like this:

As far as I can tell, it looks good !!! :applause:

As long as your input and output jacks are metal and the enclosure is metal,
then the above wiring is good. The sleeves of both jacks are connected together
via the enclosure and the sleeve on the input jack is connected to ground, so the
output jack's sleeve is also at ground potential and needs no specific wire to ground.

Good Job !!!

PokeyPete, thanks again for your explanations. They were clear and really helpful. I read about that connection before and yes, the enclosure and the switchcraft jacks are metal, so I can start with it! :horsey:

It's been a pleasure.

Regards!!
