Okay this might sound like dummy talk because I don't know the proper terminology so bear with me...
So you guys know how all of the PCBs that are sold by pedalpcb.com use the typical old-school 1/4" mono jacks for inputs/outputs that require only two leads—"positive" and "ground", right?
Well I have this other PCB-based project (it's not a stomp box it's an effects looper) that uses those much more "fancy" 1/4" mono jacks that have not two, but SIX contact pins going into the PCB...this kinda situation...
...but I don't WANT to use those fancy jacks! In truth I'm hoping to "hard wire" the ins/outs on the stomp box PCBs DIRECTLY to the in/out PCBs of the looper kit. Because it's not really gonna be a looper with external jacks on a floorboard connected to a bunch of freestanding pedals or any of that nonsense...this is all gonna be housed internally in a rack-mountable enclosure.
So this is probably really basic shit that I should know, but can someone here possibly do some scribbles on that second image (the PCB) to tell me which of those six pads are the "+" and the "ground" and if I need to jumper any of the other pads to bypass the whole open/closed circuit thing that those fancy jacks are intended for?
Thanks in advance.
