Hello.
Is it possible to make a pedal on/off switch with just a spst switch? Propable problem if you have to wire +9 and guitar input + to the same pin?
No, this won't work.
You could switch the battery with a SPST, but in off-position you wouldn't get a bypassed signal, you'd get no guitar signal at all, and you'd get a loud pop while switching.
That's why nobody switches the battery.
For a bypass function you need at least a DPDT.
Thanks kothoma, i thought that it probably wouldn't work.
You could use the spst to control a relay or cmos switch that would then do all the signal routing but that's a whole other kettle of fish.

Oh yes! I have also thought about relay controls and been fascinated by it, however for the time being i need to go and get dpdt or 3pdt switch, because i need to mail my effect out very soon.
Any idea how to include also a led to dpdt switching? I know it would be easy just ti use a 3pdt - switches which i have plenty, but the effect i'm building is so ridicolously small, that any stompswitches won't fit.

Millennium bypass, simple enough, few components. That might fit within your space requirements.

Ok! That seems interesting! Have to try that.
