6 pin footswitch instead of the 9 pin

[mehfuzhoss]

Hello,
I have few 6 pin footsw that i want to use for pedals. what would be wiring like ?

Thanks

I guess you could without an led indicator

If you wanted to use it and also have an led indicator, you could use the Millennium Bypass method.

i can do without the led then. can you plz post a detailed wiring layout for it ?

It's hard to see with how the links are handled on the forum, but that includes a link to tagboard above (see Millennium Bypass).

Here are some wiring diagrams for using a DPDT without an LED.

So I get where most of it go. Where do I solder “sw”

You don’t. SW is for the LED, not possible with a 6 pin DPDT.

Yup. The only thing attached to the board would be Effect in, Effect out, and Ground. The SW pad would be left alone, and you'd wire your jacks normally

That’s it? Will LED light up? Thanks

Yes, that will engage the effect. But the LED circuit will not be complete with this specific wiring. For that, you'd need what called Millennium Bypass, which adds a MosFET, diode, and resistor

the 6 pin wiring shown is working only when the effect is on. if it turn it off i have no clean signal....any idea!

Start a thread in the troubleshooting section. Take plenty of pictures.

Have a picture of the wiring?
