Title: I know I saw it. Test layout with no footswitch
Post by: whitewave on September 23, 2013, 09:52:16 AM
 I'm sorry for asking this, I've searched a lot before starting a new post.
Do you have a layout for testing pedals before boxing them?
I know there are threads about building a test box, but I saw a layout with no footswitch involved, just for initial testing.
Can you link it?

Many thanks, and sorry again for noob question

This is what I use pretty much constantly. The red and black thing is a 4 way spring loaded speaker terminal for 9V, Ground, FX In, and FX out, VERY useful! The SPDT switch goes between the effect output going to the amp, and the signal probe going to the amp (for poking around the board while troubleshooting -- guitar signal always goes to the effect.)
