DC Jack and Gorva

[Pasquada]

Hey all! Newbie here.
I’m about to install the pcb. But am a little vexed about the wiring and clear instructions on +/- soldering to which lugs on DC Jack as well as the Gorva footswitch. Eg on Gorva is there a specific way up down etc? On DC Jack which is + and -? Thanks. Feeling dumb. Any help please ?

The way you’re holding the stomp is correct.

Thanks so much @jimilee really appreciate you taking the time to do the scribble notes

The ppcb wiki has some good diagrams.

It's not just Gørva, all 3PDTs are oriented/work/numbered that way.

Same if it's a 3PDT Toggle, but note how the bat points depending on which row the common-lugs in the centre are connected;
in this diagram you can see better how each vertical "pole" is delineated with the colour-coding:



EDIT: PS: Sometimes you'll see the poles labelled as well — poles with numbers gets confusing since lugs are numbered,
IMO poles should be labelled "A, B, C" left to right.

You can extrapolate this "system" to DPDT switches
A . B

1 . 4

3 . 6

or 4PDT...

That's all for on-on switches.
Things get a little more complicated when talking about on-on-on switches, but those don't come in stomper-versions.

This is a handy little reference sheet I made for myself, since I can't remember shit lol. I print it out and tape it above my soldering area for reference.
