Title: Need help - Biyang FootSwitch
Post by: PhiloB on February 01, 2014, 01:58:12 AM
So I am attempting to insert a boost after the effect but can't figure out what goes where on the switch.  I used an audio probe to determine the wet signal to be at 7 and 9 on switch (if I have my numbering correct).

123
456
789

I plan to cut the trace on the switch and splice in the boost if I can figure out which direction (ie out from the board TO out to the plug).(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/01/usyne7ut.jpg)

Got a continuity buzzer on your multi-meter?

Tap it to the input jack tip and then to the switch lugs and the same for the output, should be able to work it out.

Ok, so 7 is output for the left channel and 9 is output for the right.  It is a stereo pedal.  So, I'd have to build 2 boosts and have them for each 'channel' correct?
For now, I'm just running mono.  If I cut the trace from the pin to the 7th lug.  Then solder the input of the boost to the pin and the output of the boost to Lug 7.  Is this correct?

Ok, wires soldered and trace cut.  Works like a charm. I may have (potentially) the loudest reverb on the planet:). Running it at about 20%.

Cool mod, just read your other thread. If it is indeed the loudest reverb, you can say it goes to '11' and sell it to Nigel Tufnel...

Oh yes, it'd sound great at the beginning of Stonehenge!
