Factory de Fuzz vero layout

hi there

i am new to this forum and new(ish) to DIY... so pls excuse my ignorance with the following q's:

1) in this vero layout, where is the switch? and where does it wire up to?
2) the in and out... there is only one wire... shouldnt there be two?
3) also only one wire is there for the (v. i assume the other one goes to somewhere on the switch?

again my apologies for noobie q's

Hey there, for all you wiring queries there is a great article over here: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/ind ... &Itemid=27

Check out those articles, they should point you in the right direction

thx for that link briggs but naturally i have another q...

with the 3PDT switch it mentions wires to output/input jack and effect input/output... whats the difference?

ah, You have one wire from the input jack of the fx to the switch, then one from the switch to the actual input of the FX circuit. You also have a wire from the output of the actual circuit to the switch then from the switch to the output jack.

See crappy diagram of dpdt switch:

to fx circuit board input ------------O O------------- from fx circuit board output
--------from input jack --------------O O------------- to output jack
these two are connected----------O-O

ok saga continues... is this the correct wiring diagram for LED but no DC? in the diagram the pins on the switch are horizontal... shouldnt they be vertical? some diagrams are hori others vert...
