Offboard wiring question

[Kylef]

I have an effects layouts jet pack overdrive board. It has an optional buffered bypass. The wire connections are in, gnd, Bo, l-, and out. If I want to wire this to the 3pdt switch to use the buffer, can I just wire it the same way I would for true bypass but omit the out and use the Bo instead?

Input will go straight to the PCB
Output jack to a center lug
Above and below that will be Bo and out.

Thank you that worked

@jwin615 - working on this project and even with reading above still not following how the offboard wiring is done. Could you be kind enough to post a gut pic of your completed wiring? Thanks!

I just looked at the build doc so no pics to give.
If you are using the buffered out, the input isn't switches. It goes to the PCB. Only 2 poles will be used. Output and led.
Your output jack will be a center lug. BO and OUT to top and bottom lugs.
On another pole, gnd center lug. L- to top or bottom(whichever side OUT is wired too)
If you want to get fancy, you could use the third pole to ground the output but it's not really necessary.
Unless you're running this before any other buffers and the rest of your chain is true byoass, I would just ignore the buffer and wire it true bypass. In that case, Ignore BO and wire like a standard 4 wire true bypass, BO unpopulated

Perfect - thanks very much!
