SOLVED Substituting TS jack for TRS jack

[pingpongcomputer]

I have a Synthrotek Ratatak rat clone board that I just realized calls for a TRS jack on the input, can I just use a TS jack and leave the ring solder point on the board unconnected if I don't plan to add a 9v battery? Or solder the pin from the DC connector jack to the ring solder point? Here is the schematic, I'm not great at understanding how circuits work:

Absolutely.

Yeah the TRS is there just to provide a switch to keep you from draining the battery when nothing is plugged into the effect.

Awesome, thank you!

You've got your breadboard, jumper wires, offboard components, and breadboard components in hand and are ready to go. You download a build doc from PedalPCB website, skip the pretty picture of the PCB, skip the components listing since your order came in the mail 3 and a half minutes ago, get to...

Well worth investing time in learning to read schematics.


Aside:
I hate Synthrotek's schematics, such a pain to look at.

I totally agree, I know all the symbols and I'm slowly making progress on how stuff actually works. I'm also switching careers and studying for a bunch of certifications so circuit knowledge has to take the back seat for a bit, my brain is too old and worn to learn many things at once.
