Guitar pedal (stomp box) wiring explained

[Psychotronic]

Correct (if you go with the pot, make sure it is making good electrical contact with the enclosure).

Will do. And, THANKS for the info -- you've cleared up a lot of difficulty for me!

hello I just finished the wampler pinnacle after weeks of debugging I finally got it to work.my question is just how do I wire the boost part of the pedal to run a LED and have the boost turn off along with the LED when I stomp on the other bypass switch.

Hey Paul, that shouldn't be too difficult. What you need to do is to add a lead to pin 9 of the main (bypass) switch and take it to where the ground wire should go on the boost switch (but disconnect the ground lead from the boost switch). This way you only have a ground connection to the boost switch's LED while the bypass switch is activated too. If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll draw up an image for you.
