Bi-Coloured* LED wiring for Cataclysm

[Many__Of__Horror]

Hi guys & gals, I would love some feedback, the obligatory I'm a newb and wanting to learn more.

I am going to build the Cataclysm for a friend and I want to use one of those Bi-Coloured Illuminated footswitches from Tayda - https://www.taydaelectronics.com/illuminated-push-botton-foot-3pdt-bi-color-red-green.html.
It appears from the datasheet that it is Common Anode with Pin 3 being the Annode leg.


I have this 3PDT wiring board that I impulse purchased for this idea purely on the bi-coloured LED input without really looking into too much.



It states the middle pad is the common annode in D1 so I would connect that to leg 3 of the footswitch. Not sure which pad to the green cathode side to for effect bypassed and the red cathode side for effect engaged, but can play with that easily enough.

Also on the board connections for the Cataclysm I assume I just ignore the SW connection?


To power the 3PDT board I assume I just connect it directly to the DC jack like I would for the main board?
Would the DC Splitter work well for this? Does anyone have a picture of one they have used (I'm a visual learner)
How would you neatly mount this board when using the below DC jacks?


Cheers!

Looking at D1 on your 3PDT board, the left pad should go to your Active LED terminal. The right pad should go to your Bypassed LED terminal.

Yep, in this case you'd just ignore the SW pad on the Cataclysm PCB.

The DC splitter PCB wasn't designed for that type of DC jack, so it'd really more of a hassle than help. Your 3PDT board has a feedthrough for 9V and GND, I would just connect your DC jack directly to the 3PDT board then power the effect PCB from the additional provided pads.

Thank you

Looks like R8 is the CLR for the LED? I assume I can skip that on the Cataclysm PCB and put it on the 3PDT instead?
