Tyrian: simple DPDT Question…

[Caldo71]

Hey this might be a dumb one but: do the DPDT Toggle (On/Off/On) switches used in the Tyrian come in “Types”…much like the on/on/on switches that I recently used when building the Disarray?

That is to say, the Disarray DPDT was a “type 2”, and if one used a “Type 1” instead, it would not function properly.

So are the on/off/on style subject to this same pitfall? Or are they pretty much all the same?

I’m not getting any sounds out of my recent Tyrian build and I’m just trying to trace down the culprit.

No, there's only one type of On/OFF/On.

The "type" in an On/ON/On refers to the behavior in the middle ON position, since an On/OFF/On is OFF in the middle position there is only one possibility.

Not relevant here, but using the wrong type of On/ON/On only results in the middle position malfunctioning, the up and down positions still work properly.

There is a funky ON-ON-ON DPDT for single-coil tapping and such, but also not relevant (I just felt the need to type something).
