2 Pedals in One

[Von Felgenhauer]

So I got a Polish Hate a while ago and I love it so I decided to build a red llama which was the Polish Love. Now I'm wanting to house them in one housing with 3 switches, pretty much a/b/y. Using this diagram [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] how would I wire up the 3rd switch to have them both come on at once?

Looks like you don't need one.

They're wired in parallel. Turn both on and ... they're both on.

I was just hoping to be able to turn them both on at the same time instead of hitting both buttons.

You could wire in another 3PDT in true bypass that acts as a master for the two pedals. If you want to do this then I'd wire it like this:

Input Jack -> Master 3PDT In
Master 3PDT Send -> Bypass Sw1 In
Bypass Sw1 Out -> Bypass Sw2 In
Bypass Sw2 Out -> Master 3PDT Return
Master 3PDT Out -> Output Jack

It's basically a loop pedal that's built in to the enclosure. You'll have to make sure that both the circuits are already on before you hit the master though, otherwise everything is going to be bypassed anyway.

Hope this helps!

I'd advise placing both switches at less than your foot's width in distance.

No schematics involved!

save your self the troubled and put them side by side. this way you can activate one and a/b back and forth or activate a=b with one stomp simple is always best
