I want to be able to switch between 2 effects boards.
I’ve built one using a board from another supplier that was an effects loop switcher.
It seems like I read somewhere on here that someone used a 2KJ to accomplish the same thing.
If not a 2KJ perhaps something else. I could probably wire up a 4PDT (I want status LEDs) without a PCB, but a board would make it simpler (I think).
Thanks for any guidance.
Any of Barry’s 3PDT boards can be used to switch between 2 channels.
Use lug 2 as the IN. Lug 1 sends to channel 1. Lug 7 returns from channel 1.
Lug 3 sends to channel 2. Lug 9 returns from channel 2.
Lug 8 is the OUT. Not used if you need separate OUTS from lugs 7 and 9.
Lugs 4,5, and 6 provide LED status.
Thanks wilkie1!
Had a “Duhhh” moment when I first saw your response.
Do you think there would be a need to ground the “off” channel to prevent popping or noise?
Thanks again for your help.
That might be needed. Try it and see.
the 3PDT GPCB board I have has lugs 7 & 9 tied together with no solder pad tied to them.
I don’t think that’s going to work for me. I need 7 & 9 for the second effects send and return.
Think I’m gonna have to skip the PCB.
I think you are looking at the 3PDT wiring board numbering differently from the way we use it.
Read my suggestion above using this diagram.
