There are guitarists who don’t want any type of stump a/b switch, so they build them into their guitars, but how does someone go about doing so? Jame Hetfield does it while on stage, just uses the toggle switch on the guitar itself.
Awesome man, I'm trying to build game pad with pc keyboard, by using keyword's main brain. So on this main brain there are total of 30 wires, and when I connect each time two of these individual wireless they give letter H, B, C and etc. on WordPad. What I want now to add different colors of LEDes for each characters of keypad. This means I'm not allowed to connect negative or positive lines of my 9 volt battery to any of keypad wires. Do you think if this switch can handle these two different wiring separately? Thanks very much and regards.
Hi I am doing a school project where I have to build A Diagram consisting of Three lights, but when you energize any one of the lights it Would make it impossible for the other two lights to be energized. Can you please help. Thank you
Hey Diego Sanz. I cant reply to your comment so Im gonna put this here. I use a stereo jack to act as a switch for the battery. You can use a mono jack, but its gonna run the battery down even when you unplug the input jack.
+greendunn1 Can you please explain wiring the battery (I mean the + and - , like which is ground?), and how do I recognize ground on each jack input, and if you can find a nice explanation (link on the internet, or you tell me) how to use stereo as a switch? I am an electronics faculty student so I can understand even if you don't put it simple :) This is a great job you did here. Thank you for sharing this with us, and thank you in advance!
+greendunn1 Ok, yes, I got that later :) Now, I have been searching the internet on how to use stereo jack as a switch, and I cannot find any answer. Can you just tell me which wire did you connect to which of the pins? Thank you once again!
Thanks for posting this video! however I don't fully get how you connect the negative of the battery together with the negative of the LEDs.. if they go to the same tip in the jack then the lights will be on regardless a cable is plugged in or not.... I tried building the pedal and I can't get the battery to be turned off when I unplug the cable. could you explain a bit better that part of the wiring diagram? thanks!
Enzo Fullone Here is an explanation. Hope this helps, if not let me know and Ill try again. Thanks for watching!!! czcams.com/video/NNz8q1WL860/video.html
That's what I needed to know at just the right speed. Thanks for taking the time with the diagrams, good work buddy.
Neil Sherman glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

it can work with a mono jack input or only with a stereo ?
If i am using a dc power supply do I need to use a stereo jack for the output? or can I use 3 mono?

+Srdjan Babic here is a video oh how I wired it. Red lines mean positive or hot and black means negative or ground. Does that help?
+greendunn1 Ok, yes, I got that later :) Now, I have been searching the internet on how to use stereo jack as a switch, and I cannot find any answer. Can you just tell me which wire did you connect to which of the pins? Thank you once again!
+greendunn1 Acutally I found it in another one of your videos! I got it now! Again, thank you!
No problem!

Are you using a stereo jack?

I can use reverse to connect two guitars input to one amp ?
roger bernat Yes!! Just plug each guitar into the side jacks and plug the amp into the bottom jack.
Thanks !!!
why all A/B + LED diagrams i see use 3PDT switches and more wires? this looks way easier and it works. any idea?
an example davidbolton.co/wp-content/uploads/stompboxed-the-guitar-pedal-builders-repository-switch-effect-of-ab-switch-wiring-diagram.jpg
the "audio" signal seems to go to waste on the middle vertical row of the switch and the third row is used for leds. Your approach seems better.
i might be talking out of my ass. please advise :)
is it because they want to achieve grounding jacks and battery separately?
so the middle row of 3pdt sends unused signal to ground. your does not. hm.
