Dielectric boost footswitch wiring

Hi everyone!
I’m almost finished with the Dielectric boost but I’m not completely sure how to wire up the foot switches. I know one is just the normal 3pdt wiring, it’s the other switch that I’m not as sure about.
Anyone know how this one is wired up? I looked at other 2 switch builds but there are different types and I’m not sure which is correct.

The right-hand footswitch is just an LED + ground then the other 2 if you look at the schematic, would just connect or disconnect the 47u + side, pot and 1K from the transistor emitter


So you could use a DPDT footswitch

Just continuity check the pads one should go to the emitter one to 47u + you can see the one that goes to the LED cathode (K) the pad to the right of that goes to ground you can tell from the faint crosshair on that pad which on ppcb boards is a grounded pad

I'd wire it like this
