Effect with Tuner Out
Hi all,
I want to build an effect with a tuner out controlled with a 3pdt.
It should have two LED's. One for the effect and the other for the tuner.
I've built it last night, but the LED's are not lighting up.
Anything wrong with the diagram?

Unless the LEDs have built in current limiting resistors you have almost certainly blown them (with too much current).boidek wrote: Anything wrong with the diagram?
Try adding a couple of 470 ohm resistors in series with a pair of new LEDs and see what that does. Make sure that you get the LEDs the right way round. The cathode (0v side) is the short lead next to the flat on the LED body.

As long as you have the LEDs the correct way round then it should work as drawn.boidek wrote:Sorry, I forgot to draw the resistors for the LED's.
A couple of things that spring to mind
Are you sure the switch is not 90 degrees out, difficult to tell on a footswitch with 9 contacts.
Are the resistors too high in value.

I don't know. I would get a meter on it and see which contacts are shorted.boidek wrote:To my knowledge the footswitch should be placed when the connectors on it are parallel to you. Just like in the drawing, no?
