A bonehead question (Informant overdrive)

[Orson Anton Welleson]

I'm almost certain what the answer to this question is, but, am so good at creating doubt about things...

If I want to build the Informant overdrive without the buffer, just don't connect the "BP" on the PCB, or if I do then make that connection between the PCB and the breakout board. I'm using the basic breakout board for the 3PDT, although I have some of the buffer boards as well.

Thanks!

Nope, you can wire it like the non buffered bypass on page 5. You can see it’s a little different.

I saw that, but I'm using a basic breakout board. The .50 one with IN, GND, SW, OUT and the in and out jack connections on either end. I'll have to study the board and switch connections and see how to translate 3PDT wiring to the breakout board.

EDIT: Guess I could just ditch the breakout board...

Correct.

or if I do then ...

Ditch the standard breakout board for buffered bypass. Either wire it by hand or use this:

It just hit me what you were asking, my apologies. As previously stated, you are correct.
