Hardwire Bypass switch
- Thread starter MaxDB54

What do you mean by hardwired bypass switch? True bypass? The build docs show the wiring diagram for true bypass.
you can check out the build reports too to see how others have done it. Almost all the projects on here use true bypass Switching.
for the arachnid, if you don’t have the rotary switch already, be aware there’s a shortage at the moment on all the parts sites, and I’m not sure when they will come back in stock.

phi1,
OK True bypass. I figured it was already designed in but on the build doc schematic I did not see any switch wired in for True bypass.
I think you're saying follow the wiring diagram for the 1/4" jacks and that will give me True Bypass.
Thankfully I ordered the rotary switches and received them before they became hard to get!
Thanks again!

It's a fairly common (and universal) footswitch. Just make sure you get Latching and not Momentary.

You guys are awesome for the quick response. Hopefully not wearing out my welcome but what is the DC jack part# and 1/4" jacks (I see Pedal PCB is currently out of stock). Also any suggestions for quality Power supply to mate with the power jack?
I'm building 3 of these as gifts for friends and buying all of the parts now.
Thx!

I think you be better off getting the individual jacks and not using that Daughterboard. Check out several build reports (could be arachnid or really any pedals look pretty similar) and it should become clear which parts to get from tayda.
you’re not wearing out your welcome at all! However, I will say the arachnid is not the simplest build, so if you’re new at this, maybe just do one at a time, that way if you make mistakes you don’t have to go back and fix it 3 times.

Great advice! I did purchase with the FV-1's soldered and down and I have built simple distortion boxes and other small projects so not a total newb.
I will wire jacks as you suggested without the PCB. Is there a preferred/suggested Power Supply? That way I will know which power supply jacks to order.

Almost all guitar pedals use the same connector, 9vDC, center negative. Some pedals (usually boost or dirt) sound nice on 12 or 18v, but the arachnid should only be powered by 9v.
either of these jacks will work. Definitely don’t get the one with the metal housing.
