Basic Relay Bypass

[Seasoned Novice]

Forgive me if this has been covered. Couldn't find it using search. The basic relay bypass page says, "I/O pinout directly interfaces with most PedalPCB projects." Just wondering what to look at for determining if it will work for any given PedalPCB project. TIA!

Got it. Thank you!!

If it has regular true bypass (i.e., not buffered) you can replace it with the relay board. Typically, buffered projects come with a dedicated switch daughterboard (e.g., Kliché).

The relay board can be used with dual projects, but the wiring will have to be altered slightly to change the jack connections.

That's true! Good point.

Do you have an example of this? The pads are not labeled on some of the dual footswitch boards I've used, so I just went with 3PDT instead of my normal relay. I'm sure some schematic reading might clear it up, but at least one pedal like this didn't have the schematic available yet.
