Title: making a test rig question
Post by: danwelsh on December 09, 2013, 07:48:11 PM
Hi guys. So I'm making a test rig but I don't have an extra 3 PDT stomp switch.....what I do have is a on/off/on toggle switch that has 6 pins. Could someone help me and tell me how the heck I would wire this up for my test box? Thanks in advance :)

No problem. You can use a Dpdt to do wiring but just without an LED. You could add an LED using the millenium bypass.

Just look at madbean standard wiring diagrams. You can use the 3pdt one just ignore the last collumn with the LED.

Okay so looking at the standard wiring diagram I would ignore the first 3 pins and just use the ground with the dpdt on pin number 3? All the rest would be wired the same as the standard?

In and out on the middle lugs, jumper the bottom set of lugs, board in and out on the top set and you're good.
