looking at the datasheet just confuses me. http://pewa.panasonic.com/assets/pcsd/catalog/tq-catalog.pdf

I need straight forward instructions/tips on how to hook this up. To Explain what I will be using it for, check out my older topic here http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=14051.msg130471#msg130471

What I have figured out about the relay:

I think it should be used "single side stable" (?)
pin 1: +5V (using 78L05 and battery when testing)
pin 2: Jumpered to pin 9
pin 3: guitar input
pin 4: FX send
pin 5: ?
pin 6: ?
pin 7: FX return
pin 8: output to amp
pin 9: Jumpered to pin 2
pin 10: switching signal (ground) from tip of jack.

Does this make sence?


Thankfull for any help I can get

So I had vision... turned into a model in Sketchup..






Got some walnut wood for about 120$





And called my dad and Uncle...





And its getting there...










Within a couple of weeks I will be drilling and sawing the top board, sand everything, assemble the frame and mount jacks, glue velcro on the top etc, etc

So could this be done by using the Panasonic TQ2-L relay and simply wire its ground-connection to the tip-lug of the "external-switch"-jack?
I'm not really comfortable reading data-sheets and figuring out this sort of the things but does this make sence?

The Manual for the octaswitch didn't give me much information about this but I did the following test with a simple pacth-cable (don't have a stereo cable at the moment).

witch the external dip-switch turned off there is no connection between tip and sleeve of the plug. witch the dip-switch turned on there is connection between tip and sleeve. I'm assuming this means that the tip connects to ground when the external dip-switch is engaged.

I have a Carl-martin octaswitch, it has 8 loops and 2 "external switch" outputs for controlling amp-channels for example. I was thinking that i might be able to build loop pedals with I/O for guitar/amp and send/return for effects but on/off would be controlled by the "external switch" outputs of the octaswitch instead of a foot-switch.  this would give me 10 loops instead of 8.

Please give me your input on this idea. How would you tech-heads construct this?

Stunning!

Looks really good! may I ask where you source these knobs?

I built a zero point a while ago and had some issues with it but put to the side for a while (4-6 months!) but now I would like to finnish it. I keep hearing a slight ticking that relates to the speed-knob when the mod switch is turned on. Any Idea's where I should be looking? so far the only thing I've done is switch IC5 but that didn't work.

Genius led-placement!

theank youuuu!

It's not a very good picture but anyway

Fringe FTW!!!

GORGEOUS! Please tell me that is a PPP color I can buy?!?!?

I'm always having fun reading you labeling out to myself in a very exaggerated accent ööööverdrive! 
Just got some of those jacks that I'm gonna try out in my next pedal!
you're kid is a true artist!!! minimalistic!
