More annoying wiring questions

[chart72]

so my dad and i are building a guitar (our first), and we're onto the wiring planning portion now. today my friend (who knows a little bit of wiring) and i tried this schematic out, but it didn't work, though we're definitely not professionals and may have screwed it up.

the plan was to have
-a tone and volume for each pup, but in dual concentric form (that's why you only see one spot for volume and tone)
-an onboard distortion module (labeled with a D)
-a 3 way pickup selector
-an on/on switch for both pickups to choose distortion or clean for that specific pup.

I want to be able to go from playing clean on one pickup to a distorted lead part on the other with just one switch involved. The thing we ran into though was that we had to split some wires in certain places and run wires from 2 different places into one, and we think that's what caused it not to work. any advice on how to make this work? also, the distortion module says it is supposed to use a stereo jack, which didn't end up fitting into the circuit without splitting wires. some advice on how to make this all work would be great.

thanks

Re: More annoying wiring questions

single pole double throw switches for clean vs distorion?

splitting wires isnt a good thing and im a little confused by what you mean by that.

you need a stereo jack and battery to make the distorion circuit work. the stereo jack is what allows the battery to supply power to the circuit when the guitar is plugged in along with hot and ground connections.

ill need a better picture of what goes on at the jack. the rest of it kinda looks like it should at least work if my best case scenario view of your simplified diagram is actually whats going on.
