For most of the BYOC builds I've done in the past, the instructions have a good picture of the finished board. Can anybody provide a good picture of one built with the standard buffered bypass?

Also, there's a sticky on this board called "Wiring the wah's stomp switch". It is very old, and there are several posts with suggestions on how to wire the switch in ways that vary from the instructions. Some include attached photos. Maybe I'm just a dummy, or maybe the photo hosting service is gone. but I cant figure out how to open the photos.

Not sure what exactly the problem is with the photos from that thread.

This is how your stomp switch should be wired.

This method shorts the circuit’s input to ground when in bypass mode helping to prevent turn ON pops. The wiring method in the build doc does not do this.

I’m not sure what you’re wanting to see but here are a few photos of a BYOC wah I recently built. It has a switched bypass circuit, a 3-position range cap switch and a Jerry Cantrell wah mod that I modified a little.

Thanks a lot-very helpful!

On your switch wiring, I assume there’s another column of lugs to the right (ie, 6 is the middle lug)

Mainly i wanted to see what was going on with the jumper/0 resistor close to the wxy holes for buffered bypass. I havent studied the board that closely and i was hoping for a reference.

Are you referring to using a 3PDT stomp switch to add an LED?

I don't think so. I ordered the drop-in kit and it came with a 3PDT switch. Your original drawing only has 6 lugs. So I'm trying to figure out where the three unused/extra lugs should go- to the left of what's in the diagram, or right. Judging from the diagram in your last post, I'm guessing the unused lugs go to the left.

You’re over thinking this. It doesn’t matter which side you place them on. You could place them in the middle if you wanted as long as the other connections remain the same. The stomp switch has what amounts to 3 separate switches in one unit. It doesn’t matter which row of lugs you use because they all do the same thing.
