Hello Cybercow,

thank you for your quick answer.
Unfortunately I don´t own a camera, so photos will take some time, though I think I found a solution, I´m not sure if it is the proper way to do it.
Here is what I did:
As I said, I had the footswitch soldered to your 3PDT wiring board v5; the LED (yes, D1, sorry) is a bicolor LED and is connected to the D1 pad on the 3PDT board, wich was connected to the GND and 9V pad in the bottom left corner of the Apollo board (the ones under C1,R1,R2). The LED did everything it should (red when power, green when engaged) except blinking with the rate, it was just on.
So, after looking at the schematics and thinking a bit, I disconnected the 9V wire from the pad under R2 on the Apollo board, and connected it to S5 on the Apollo. The LED stays connected to the 3PDT board, and now it blinks the rate.
Although now it blinks wether the pedal is engaged or not (red blinking whith power, green blinking when tremolo is on). I think i will change the LED to a standard one, so that I have only light when the effect is on (which i prefer anyway).
Does my solution make sense, or can I do damage to something? Is there a better way to do it?

Thank you for your patience,
best regards,

Martin

Hi Guys,

I´m back from the photo shoot, that went real quick, here we go:

The first picture shows everything is as it was initially: 3PTB Board connected to lower left on Apollo board, bicolor LED does bicolor, but no blinking.

The second picture shows the new wiring: original 9V disconnected, 3PTB Board now connected to S5. LED does bicolor and shows the rate, but blinking is always happening, wether effect is engaged or not; this is planned, like Barry described above.

This last photo shows the bicolor LED replaced by a standard one; this one blinks only, when tremolo is engaged and there is no light for “power only, no effect”. This is a version I really like.

Now I would like to know, if my wiring is ok (especially the connection S5 on the Apollo board to 9V on the 3PTB board)?

Or does this any damage to anything (components, sound, do I shorten something etc)?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for your time,

best regards,

Martin

Hello Wilkie1,

yes, I have all I want 😉

My question was probably not very clear. As my knowledge of all things electronic is close to zero, I was worried that my somewhat experimental wiring might cause some kind of hum loop, or have any other kind of undesired effect on the parts used (again, I don´t know nothing about electronics).

I guess my worries are needless?
