Way Huge Camel Toe Series/Parallel switch... has anyone figured out how it works?

- Diode Debunker
Hi,
I've been trying to figure out how Way Huge did the Series/Parallel toggle switch in the Camel Toe, either in the original or reissue. Has anyone traced that part of the circuit?
Thanks!

from the manual
https://www.jimdunlop.com/content/manuals/WHE209.pdfUse the Drive Selector footswitch to toggle between the
two circuits, or flip the Series switch for a whole ’nother
sound: the Green Rhino OD and the Red Llama OD
combined in series. In Series mode, the Drive Selector
switch toggles the Red Llama OD on/off while the Green
Rhino OD is always active. The Camel Toe Triple Overdrive
MkII is an untamed beast! Handle with caution.

Thanks. Have all that but it isn't helping figure out the actual wiring.

"Parallel" label on the switch is misleading, two circuits never work in parallel, or to be more precise simultaneously. I guess, that label is appearing only on MKI, on MKII is omitted, and that's more accurate. If you want real parallel, you'll need different wiring.
Rotagilla, mauman's diagram is just fine, it will do the job.
With his diagram with master bypass you'll have
all three combinations just like in Camel toe.
fx1 on, fx2 off
fx1 off, fx2 on
fx1 on -> fx2 on (serial)
fx1 - rino, fx2 - lama
Here's another way with DPDT for serial/"parallel"

Also pay attention to where they've used shielded wires. Мauman's wiring method is better, inputs are grounded, it's less prone to troubles. More versatile too. Try it with DPTD, maybe it will be OK.

One more variant of the wiring. If you don't want to have led for the bypass switch (just like they did it for camel toe), connect the grey wire from selector switch to the pin for the bypass.led instead directly to gnd. Also as an alternative to two led diodes for fx1 & fx2, one bi-color common anode can be used. To have led indicator for series/parallel switch 3pdt switch must be used.
