Hello and seasons greetings!
Ive a problem here which is really bugging me. Ive a lot of 3pdt which work all as should when tested with a multimeter. When in the circuit when the effect is off , there is a faint led glow?
How can this be happening. The signal all works as it should and the effect does? ????
ANY IDEAS ...............
Thanks

Can you post a pic of the wiring method you use?

There may be a bit of current leaking across one of the switch contacts, or, the flux from the solder you use could have become slightly conductive, try cleaning-off any and all flux residue from the switch and see if that fixes things....
