I have searched the whole dang internet and various forums, but my google-fu is letting me down. I have been thinking of building an Aquaboy, but would like it to have switching like the AnalogMan delay. If you don't know what it is, they are switching between two sets of pots with LEDs showing what set is on.
My question is: How are they doing this? And, more importantly, how can I do it with an Aquaboy?
Help me, forum members, you are my only hope ;)

Use a 3pdt (footswitch or toggle switch)

1) Put two delay pots in series and have one spdt of the 3pdt short the pot you are not using.
2) Put two feedback pots in parallel and use the second spdt to switch between the wipers of the two pots.
3) Use the third spdt to toggle between the two different LEDs.


You could also switch between two mix pots in the same way as you do the Feedback. But, if you want an LED then you will need to use a 4pdt instead of a 3pdt.
