Fender Deluxe 85 amp foot pedal downsize

[PunchySunshine]

This is my first time taking a schematic and making a Vero from it. Super simple circuit, six diodes and three switches. Three of the diodes are LEDs and they need to be red or yellow for the proper voltage to work with the amp. YMMV with other LED colors. I could get a blue LED to turn on once, but just once. Anyways, the fender three button footswitch that comes with the amp is quite expensive. Also it's quite bulky for a modern pedalboard and doesn't attach easily either. So I stuffed it into a 1590B vero and it works perfectly and I'm so freakin happy about it!

Isn't it cool being able to do stuff like this? I made some Favourite switches for friends for their Strymon pedals. So simple and so useful. Even made one for my Flint. If I ever start gigging again I suspect it might even get used.

I got bored and listed this on Reverb and it sold in under a day. I've already ordered parts for five more!

Hello, thank you for the schematic! As i said you on Reverb I was looking for it... since someone didn't return my switch
Can you tell me please witch switch is for reverb, 1, 2 or 3? I would like to do two switch version leaving reverb always on.

Switch #2 is for reverb, switch #1 is boost and switch #3 is drive. Have fun!

Can someone right me a shopping list so I can get the right bits please

The "shopping list" is on the layout page yo. GIYF. Everything IS available at Tayda. I can send you a reverb link if you'd like me to build it for you.

Kinda I'm in the the UK so shipping would be prohibitive are they 5v 5mm LEDs?

Stoopid shipping costs! Yesterday I just had to quote a guy $50 bucks just to ship to Spain.
I used 3mm, 2~2.2 volt LEDs. As noted above, the blue LEDs didn't work, only the red and yellow.

Did the switch work with the blue LEDs or not at all

nothing at all with the blue

Dam I brought the wrong LEDs I got the sneaking suspicion I gonna fudge this up badly but for some reason my amps reverb is off unless I jump the foot switch unfortunately this brings on the gain and boost ether that or the amps bad

The circuit operates the amp switch via a voltage drop across the diodes and leds. It's super simple to troubleshoot.
