Pedalboard project - phase 1

As someone else asked, is it just switching in and out, or can you do certain combos with one tap?

I'd say they're just on/off switches for each effect, to save stepping into the board to switch effects.
 
Re: Pedalboard project - phase 1

right now I use them as on and off switches, I was thinking of a clever way to rig up specific combos of pedals, I'm going to add a master switch which would allow me to dial up certian effects (delay, flange, chorus) seperately and leave the overdrive switches the way they are. But for now it works and has taken alot of the missed switching problems away from what I was dealing with when I was doing the pedal two step.

I'm planning on building a riser on my new board so I don't miss stuff or accidentally hit stuff, BUT I do like your idea for different reasons. I have a tendency to tweak the OCD's controls slightly whenever i hit it with my foot... guess i gotta be more careful cuz I dont know how to build one of those. ;)
 
Re: Pedalboard project - phase 1

This is just a simple switch board using 3P3T switches I bought from torres engineering, some super bright led's from radio shack along with some 295 ohm 1/8 watt resistors. I plug one source power supply into the board. The switch for the tune is a SPST switch which takes the input signal and routes it to the tuner pedal (cutting off the signal to the other pedals), the trem switch is a an on/off switch which is cables out to the input on the amp. The A/B switch is actually out of a Whirlwind switch box but that's not something someone has to use, a DPDT switch will work just as well. I don't get any popping with any of the switches, I used Fulltone switches and they are pretty much flawless in performance.
