I'm planning on building an egodriver rated for 18V and a fatpants and was going to run them in the same pedal using the external 18v of the fatpants. I was planning on adding a couple of features but one of them would be a 3pdt switch to change pedal order (with LEDs).
Here is my question....
Would it be more worthwhile to build one dual pedal?
or three separate pedals?
- the ego driver
- the fatpants with 18v output jack to supply ego
- a pedal order switcher http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/Looper-Switcher/Effect-Order-Switcher-Wiring-Diagram.png (http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/Looper-Switcher/Effect-Order-Switcher-Wiring-Diagram.png) (with 4pdt)
Seems that the second option would cost more, but me much more versatile. Any thoughts?
I built one recently using a Quasar and a FatPants and I used a Rotary Switch to switch the order, also with a rotary switch, the pointer points towards whichever effect is first in the chain..
just keep building those pedals and give each one a "letter" for its name. daisy chain them all together to look like this
IN----M-A-D-B-E-A-N----OUT
then turn them all on at the same time ! ;D
I use this diagram, as it works on a toggle as well.
awesome thanks for that.
I always refer to the one by RDV posted at runoffgroove in the Double D project.

flipper makes my head hurt !
but it looks very cool. i wonder if i should put it with my fuzz / phase :D
This is my take on switching the order of two FX in one box. PM me if you need further clarification

Thanks Paul. I wasn't sure we're I got it from.
wow, a pain free diagram
Single sided etch using Dutch's diagram. Havent done it yet.
I upped it to 300 dpi, so I think its a 2:1 scale.
I'm just starting with eagle. 20mil traces. Untested. S1 = SEND 1, R1 = RETURN 1, ETC....
EDIT: forgot to turn off the linework for the switch, UPDATED
