2 pcbs, order switcher, but ONE footswitch…

…I thought you meant a looping type pcb or breakout board.

Nope. Just a regular ol' method of true bypass — whether with a DPDT toggle, a 3PDT stomper with LED indicator, or a fancy relay.


So I could wire the general like in the build docs and then do what’s shown for the simulcast’s, then the ins/outs to the order switch?
The SIMULCAST is just a standard bypass.
However, had to think about this GENERAL TSO thing for a tick...


Here's how I would convert the TSO to true bypass...

BUFFERED BYPASS TO TRUE BYPASS CONVERSION:
  • The input jack would go to LUG-2 on the 3PDT, like most pedals.
  • LUG-1 to the PCB's IN as per most pedals.
  • I've no use for the MUTE so that wire goes, BUT, you could run the wire to a separate stomper/toggle and have just the buffer if the SW-1 is set to pass the signal to TSO's BALANCE pot.
  • The blue BP wire is ditched, nothing else to do, but...
  • Install the BYPASS JUMPER on the 3PDT from LUG-3 to LUG-9




However, here's what I believe you said your friend wants...

The grounding in the diagram is for the sake of clarity, but for the physical build, I'd probably use the empty ground pads at the bottom of the PCBs to ground the order-switcher LEDs. The bypass LED would be piggy backed off of whichever ground pad is most convenient.

PS: you could use a relay for the master-bypass.
 
Uhm, I'm not a "dude", man.



No to "duder".
Nor a "His Dudeness".

I identify as "El Duderino".
But if you're into that whole brevity thing, you can just call me "Duderino".
