Could someone repost the pictures of the wiring for the LED. Also, I want to use two inductors, but I can’t find a 3p3t rotary switch anywhere. Would someone know how to wire it to a 3 way toggle? TIA

True bypass switching with an LED wiring…

Mouser has these for plastic 3P3T rotary switches.

The nicer metal rotary switches look to have gone up in price. The photo of the part shows a multi deck switch. The actual part is a single deck 3P3T switch.

A cheaper alternative is this plastic switch from Small Bear…

Stephen, thanks for reposting the 3PDT LED wiring.

One question: would "to ground" from the 3PDT to to the sleeve of the output jack?

Thanks for your time.

Some go to the input jack, some to both, but either will work. I go to the DC input and jump that over to the input jack.

OK. Thank you. If something else is connected at those points when does there become ground loop issues.

I am wanting to wire the BYOC wah up with the true bypass "to ground" method you posted and am a little unsure of how to go about it.

Thanks again!

Just connect to the sleeve of either jack for ground and you'll be fine. Ground loops are not an issue here.
