Title: Combining 2 pedals in 1...
Post by: Alaboogie on February 22, 2014, 11:24:12 AM
Been trying to find an end all be all wiring diagram to combine two pedals but so far, for what I need I can't find it and I'm sure you guys could help...

I've been building a rub a dub reverb and a multiplex jr that I want to put into one enclosure. I was inspired after I saw this YouTube clip

I'm still new to all of this as of now I'm still in the paint by number phase and don't quite understand how to combine the two boards and run them in series so that I only need one 3pdt. When I click it on both the reverb and the delay turn on and vice versa. I have seen this diagram

The only thing that doesn't work for me is the intention to just have one on/off switch.

Help anyone? Oh and I also want to use the 1776 3pdt board if possible which I have on hand

IMO, you just have to directly connect the 3PDT with the input of PCB 1, output of PCB 1 to the input of PCB 2 and output 2 back to the switch. When you engage the switch the signal should pass through both effects. With this setup both are bypasses/engaged simultaneously, but you can not control the effect order, eg. distort first, then boost or vice versa. I recommend putting in a second switch for that, unless you feel it is really unnecessary.
