Deadend FX Shillelagh switch wiring question

[drgonzo1969]

I am wiring the switch on this Deadend FX Shillelagh but I am not sure which lugs are 4,5 and 6 on these DPDT stomp switches. 1,2 and 3 are labeled but the other side is blank. I didn’t see it in the data sheet but I will post link to that and build docs. Thanks for help.

There's on 1723 combinations and the one you failed to try.
You've got this.
Gonna guess with no factual basis 123 are signal and 456 are led.
Probe it.

Nope, looks like 4 is the out.
123 are LED?

Uhm...?

Standard pole numbering for a DPDT is:

-1 4-
-2 5-
-3 6-


Did I miss something? 123 work the LED, and 456 routes the tone-shift — according to the BOM & Schematic in the build doc.
(Or you could wire the tone shift to 123, and the LED to 456.)

Wire it up, Chef!

Have you tried wiring it based on the standard DEFX layout?

I would guess just the two rows of lugs in order since there's no 3rd row like on 3PDT.
Dino has answered my questions pretty quickly via email as well when I get stuck: deadendfx@hotmail.com

I wired it up as @Feral Feline described. It works. Pretty killer pedal. Sounds like fz-2 or behringer super fuzz with options

I just finished a DEFX EVA and have a hyped fuzz in the build queue. Now I guess I have to buy a Shillelagh board, build it, and do a shoot out.

This thread has piqued my interest in this board. I looked at the schematic and found this.

Can someone please tell me what's going on here with SW1?

What are Q5 and Q6 doing here?

It’s R.G. Keen’s Millennium Bypass, which lets you do true bypass with a DPDT.

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks so much!
