Title: Crybaby 535Q LED mod
Post by: Bill49 on January 31, 2025, 11:43:23 PM
Hello, I have a wah pedal project. Im want to install an LED on my Crybaby 535Q wah so I know when the wah is engaged. I bought the LED and I plan on buying a new 3PDT to complete my project. On the 3PDT switch, Im not sure how to wire it up.  Can anyone help out with a diagram ? I have no trouble taking this thing apart and getting to the +9v and Grnd.

Hey there! The footswitch board switches left to right "long ways", so just line up the 3PDT so the lugs are oriented to switch that direction and it's a direct fit. I used clipped resistor leads to solder the board to the top 6 lugs so it stays put, and then used the bottom row for the LED.

Pro tip, I put the LED on the side down towards my heel but I wish I had put it on top above my toe like a rotovibe. It would be much easier to see.

PM me if you want photos, I'm having trouble linking an image in. Hope that helps!
