Kill dry switch for Caesar

[ttf]

Hey folks, I'm working on modding a Caesar to have a remote kill dry switch so I can flip between chorus and full vibrato using a switcher, i.e. as if the switcher turns the knob full clockwise to 100% vibrato.

So far, I've been able to get close to that result by tying pins 2 and 3 of the blend pot into a TS jack (see screenshot) and I am able to kill the dry sound and get a vibrato sound when T and S short, but I notice there is a big volume drop. A lot fainter than when the blend knob is turned full CW.



I guess there's more to shorting pins 2 and 3 to recreate a fully-clockwise blend knob. Has anyone done anything similar and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

What about two blend pots on a 3pdt? Then you can toggle between different settings and fine tune the depth.

Thanks for your reply @Guardians of the analog, this is is a great idea but I need it to be switchable by shorting tip and sleeve (from a Boss ES-5 CTL 1 output). I suppose it's possible to use relays to achieve this.

Are you asking for help on how to do this?

If so, put r34 on a switch so one end is connected to pin 3 of blend and the other end of the switch is not connected to anything.

Thanks @neiltheseal so basically take out the dry signal by lifting the leg of R34. Won't I have to do anything else on the wet signal side of the pot?
