That was my thinking - nice to have a second opinion. Thanks!!

Hi all - in the Overdrive Special PCB there's a switch labeled Rock/Jazz. In the schematic, it looks like one side of the switch goes to ground and the other goes nowhere. Which side would be the "rock" and which would be the "jazz"?

I’m having this same problem with one of mine. Ugh.

I've relied on @PedalPCB 's breakout boards probably TOO much! I love those things and have used them on single, double, and triple pedals.

How's this, @PedalPCB for wiring a 3PDT order switching toggle?

Just noticed I'd missed that. Thanks @PedalPCB !

Hi all - I'm trying to use EasyEDA to build an effect and am a bit stumped by the 3PDT stomp switches. I've grown SO accustomed to using @PedalPCB 's breakout boards that I've never learned how they actually ought to be wired up. Does this look right? I'm sending this effect to an order switch...

Hey, @Nostradoomus - I'm having trouble finding a cable/connector assembly that'll work. Have you tried using those before? I've got 15 traces that need to jump from one board to the other.

I'm looking at adding a cable/connector assembly to my next design to see if that will solve things. I looked at those long-pin pots too. Just about pulled the trigger, but I've also got 3 toggle switches, so had to rethink it.

Solid advice. Thanks. Now if I’d just not have tried to be clever and not mounted my 3pdt footswitch directly to the PCB, I’d be good to go! Those things are a little taller than PCB mounted pots. Ugh.

Hi all - I'm trying my hand at PCB development and decided to start with a Keeley Katana Boost. I've got the thing just about done, but the 2N5458 semiconductors aren't available at jlcpcb. Any ideas?

Tell me more! I’ve never considered tip-switched jacks before.

Sure enough. Wow. I didn't even realize that I had ordered one of those a while ago. I'll switch out the R11 too!

Sweet - I guess I can count this one as DONE! I would never have figured out that my board had the wrong R9 value printed on it without you guys. Thanks a ton!

Thanks guys - it was R9 - I switched it to 2k and the things sings! Here's another one that I haven't come across yet. The pedal will not pass a signal unless it has power. I'm using the "3PDT Breakout Board for Kliché Overdrive," but I guess that doesn't do true bypass?
