Dpdt in Octamayer

[Texasbluezman]

Can a dpdt switch be used instead of a 3pdt foot switch? I'm adding it to a crybaby in series and want to turn it on using a mini push button switch on the side, like a GCB-95O, which is what I'm going for with this build.

I plan on modding the crybaby with a 3pdt and LED, and eliminating the input buffer circuit. So, I can use the 3pdt to turn on both circuits. I was just wanting to turn on the Octamayer separately if possible.

Thanks

Sure, you'll lose the visual indication of the LED for it. There are ways around that, too, though:

The Millenium Bypass

I don't think I explained it very well. I am doing the LED and true bypass for the wah. And then I want to use a mini push button dpdt to activate the Octamayer, without an LED. My question is, how do I wire up a dpdt to the Octamayer board?

Use this. You can also mirror the input/output to match the other board, meaning all the inputs can be on the left and the outputs on the right.

 

[Texasbluezman]

Yes, that's it! Thank you! Now to order the switch.

One last question, Do I not use the ground (gnd) nor switch (sw) connections? If so, where do they go now? Ok, I guess that's 2 questions.

GND and SW are for the onboard LED.

You can just ignore those.

You explained it very well, this was exactly what I understood.

This was the part that was missing from your OP.
You could still add in the millennium bypass if you want an LED for the Octamayer, too.


Looking forward to seeing how your build turns out!

Congrats!

Haven't been to stinkfoot site in ages, thanks for the link reminder.




I see a red button and I immediately think of Stimpy guarding the History-Eraser Button.

"At the MERE PUSH of a SINGLE BUTTON! The OCTAMAYER! The beeyootiful shiny button! The jolly candy-like button! Will he wah out, folks? CAN he Octamayer out?..."
