Clean Blend Wiring Question

[andrewwetzel]

I’m currently working on a Triad Distortion with a JMK Panner for a clean blend. I’m still pretty new at all of this, so this is the most intricate project I’ll be attempting so far. Ordinarily I don’t mind learning by making my own mistakes, but I’m hoping to give this pedal away as a gift. So I’d love for things to go correctly the first time, if possible. I’m pretty sure I understand all of the necessary connections, but I’m not sure exactly what to do with the LED circuit on the Triad PCB. The Panner contains spots for a CLR and the leads of the LED, so would it be correct to jumper the connections for the LED and R100 on the PCB, or am I missing something? Is there anything else I should be aware of in a build like this? Thank you in advance for any insight.

You should be able to just leave them blank without any need for jumpers.

Yep, you can leave them blank. No need for a jumper.

Thank you! I have two more questions and I think I’ll be good to go:

1. It’s ok to leave the GND and SW pads blank as well, right? The Triad is going into the Panner’s effects loop, so I only need the PCB In and Out.

2. The 3PDT will be connected to the Panner PCB. Is there any problem with connecting the tips of the jacks to the switch, but the sleeves to the grounding pads at the top of the Triad (where they would ordinarily go if I was building the effect by itself)? That seems like the most convenient wiring option, but I’m not sure if there is a wiser alternative.

1. Yup
2. Yup

but I’m not sure if there is a wiser alternative.

Perhaps a guru will happen by.

Thank you everyone. Much appreciated!
