iamapirate Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 hi, basically I want to make my own single loop selector. But the problem i'm having is that there isn't enough of those latches on the footswitch (it has 6 different things you can solder it to). all this time I've been presuming that the inside part of the jack lead is +ve and the outside is -ve and that you'd need both to make a sound. Am I right about this, because all the circuit diagrams I've seen have shown only one lead from each jack plug going to the switch. I'll find the link in a minute for the swich diagram.

Alien Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Connect all the signal grounds together and you'll be OK. As long as you use a metal case to build the thing in then the star washers that come with the jacks should do a good enough job - a lot of pedals are built that way. A Quote
