Sign in to disble this ad
if i was to build a box that simply went input jack -> output jack with nothing in between, how would i wire it? would it be hot-to-hot and ground-to-ground?

Edit: Wait, this is a trick question. If there's "nothing in between", then you don't wire it at all!  |

i'm making a killbox, so i'm going ghettostyle and making a do nothing box, interrupting it with an SPST switch.

| | | Make sure you put a couple dummy knobs and switches that are wired to nothing on it... that way, when someone complains about your tone, flip a switch and twirl a knob, and they're instantly happy.  |

If you want to use it as a mute, then just don't plug anything into the loop. At least then you could either use it also as a loop, or tuner mute.
But, to answer your question, yes, just solder them together, and be prepared for pops. There are other bypass options out there that will help alleviate the popping.

| | | | So you want this to cut your signal?
If you want to be even more ghetto, try this: take one of your existing pedals and set the balance, gain, level, etc to 0. I do this with my Boss ODB-3 sometimes.
