SOLVED Slide switch confusion on AionFX Lithium PCB

[sanzanobi]

I ordered this switch based on the part number listed on AionFX's PDF. Come to find out, it's a SPDT switch instead of a DPDT (also listed on their PDF). Which is correct (see pic). Also, I only need the MN3007 version of the pedal so the switches function isn't necessary. Can I just bypass it, and if so, how would I do that? Thanks for any info you can provide!

In the build notes, "If you don’t care to have the modern value
available, you can omit C18 and the slide switch (no jumpers needed) and just use C17."

I guess I owe you a coke. haha

still cant say for sure if its supposed to be dpdt or spdt. I'm not that savvy with switches.

The switch appears to be the correct one. It looks like a DPDT with 6 pins, but it's actually just an SPDT with the pins of each side connected. See the datasheet:



Here's the switch in the Lithium schematic, confirming it's really just an SPDT but like, twice, or something. I don't know The switch is probably designed that way simply because on 3 pins alone it would be too flimsy.

Thanks for all the feedback. Saw the note in the build docs, but I finished it up and it's not working properly. Pedal turns on and I get sound, but no effect. Thought omitting the switch might have been the issue, but guess not. I tried reflowing all joints and checking for shorts, but still, not working .

Time to Post PICS.

Here are some pics of the board and wiring. This was my 15 year old's second pedal. I added the sliding switch and capacitor at C18 this afternoon.
