Tone Bender Wiring

[Anonymous]

So I’m building a Tone Bender and using a 3PDT Wiring Board.  My thinking is run the battery with normal polarity to the switch wiring board so I can power the LED then switch the polarity going to the tone bender board.  Not sure if this will actually work or if I’ll have to go another route.  I see a lot of tone benders don’t have LEDs installed.

I hope that helps.

If your ToneBender circuit is a Positive ground version, you will need to reverse the +V power and the ground wires going to the ToneBender board.

Yep that did not occur to me.

So I can run power to the switch like I normally would along with the LED and just switch the power polarity going to the board?  I just want to make sure everything will work alright once I do that.

Just make sure you take your ground wires to the jacks from the 3PDT board and not from the effect board since it’s ground is now positive.  Insulate the effect board from the enclosure to prevent a short.

Is the way the jacks are connected in the picture alright?

Looks good to me.
