Paragon Mini Dip Switches

[DeadAirMD]

Can I use a toggle switches instead of the dip switches for the Paragon Mini? I want to be able to access the settings without having to open up the back of the pedal. Was looking at my dpdt switches, as I've used those for the GuitarPCB Afterblaster, but not sure how to wires these up, or is SPDT the way to go?

DIP switches are simple SPST switches, but i don't think I've seen SPST Mini switches. SPDT will work fine, one for each individual switch in the DIP switch package. DPDT will work but take up more space and you will waste a set of contacts.

Yeah I think I just figured that out.

I desoldered the dip switches and used an ON/OFF/ON dpdt and both "ON" positions sound the same to me. I figured out how to wire it up, so I think I'm going to use some cool flat toggle spdt and try again.

How would I wire up a bi-color led to this?

I would use a DPDT ON-ON switch (NOT ON-OFF-ON), one set of contacts to replace the DIP Switch and one set for the LED.

Like this? I'm assuming I would have to use a 3pdt if I wanted to use a bi-color led?
