I'm getting back to this project after being distracted by several other things. One question, where exactly do I connect the ground wire to?

All grounds get connected together, the ground from the jacks, switch, and negative power supply if you are using power

I've never seen a 5PDT, they don't exist.
However, I have seen a 6PDT, but they're BLOODY EXPENSIVE!
I thought they were expensive way back when I finally found one (soitched ehvvvvverrrrry-whar), $16;
now they're double the price. Somebody on the board bought one, IIRC.

Someone should make a PCB board with (2) DPDT relays…. I could use one for my amp switcher

If I understand this correctly, all the sleeves of the jacks are connected together, and then to the lower left lugs on the switch as shown in the diagram. No power, no LED, just passive.

Hmm, what’s this going to accomplish? I don’t know what an intelligent relay bypass is.
It's a ppcb bypass board. You would use the in and outs that would go to the pcb as your loop sed and return. Really, you could use any relay board here I believe, as long as they are using the footswitch to switch ground only. Haven't check all the build docs. With the IRB, you get some cool momentary stuff that may be useful, or not. If not, I'd stick to a normal relay bypass.
But yeah, wire one up for each channel but just use one switch.
-scratch that-
Robert recently put out a dpdt relay board.
Hey sir glad you made it. I also want to create my own. Can you share your schematics please? Thank you good sir!

Hi! All I have is this attached file. And then as in post #25:
"...all the sleeves of the jacks are connected together, and then to the lower left lugs on the switch as shown in the diagram. No power, no LED, just passive."
Let me know if you want me to take a picture of the inside of mine.
