Switch Monkey (FS3X)

[selfdestroyer]

My father needed a foot switch for his Digitech Trio so I decided to make him one. I did a reverse etch for him on it to make it look a little more classy than the stock FS3X foot switch. 2 diodes and 3 switches later he got this pedal. Really helps when wanting to change "parts" and styles on the fly.

There is something about green shag carpet and pedals that I absolutely love.

ahh man I love it

The only things that look cooler than etches are reversed etches

Thanks everybody. I went to my parent's house tonight and got to play with it some more, really a great addon for the Trio.

you really had to etch that tiny piece pcb, didn't ya?   

looks great though! Not really sure how it's supposed to work as there are only two poles than can be shunted to GND, but what the hell do I know

Haha, I even questioned myself when I etched the PCB.. Half way through it I was like "why did I not do this on a small piece of vero" lol

Here is the schematic I used:

Looks awesome Cody! I literally just made one of these a couple weeks ago for a Jamman Stereo!

Very nice etching job! And clever way for Digitech to get a third function out of a stereo jack.
