1/4 mono jack with switching

[redkurn]

Long time no post, think about you guys every time I plug in one of my mad pedals. 😉

I've got a little project I may be working on that's a very simple box and I want to make sure I select the appropriate jack to handle switching the path of the signal to a cable plugged in or continue on to the output.

Basically I am making essentially a fx loop box to tame a hot rod deluxe, but am going to affix it with Velcro and want to add a send and return to the box.

Have yet to decide if the pot should be first, but I think it should be, goal is to tame the pre amp and let the rest of the signal continue onward, but also add fx and not reduce their volume.

Aiming for compact and no cables except those going to pedals.

Welcome back!  If you can post a sketch of how you want to connect it in your signal chain, we can make some recommendations on which jack(s) will do it for you, I've built a few boxes like you describe.  In the mean time, here are the various switching configs available in Switchcraft (pdf file) and Neutrik (png file.)

Why not build something  like the JHS black box (just an example for a visual)and put the effects after, or did you want something with a volume pot to sit on top of the amp?

I already have, but I need to rebox it, so might as well upgrade it. After 3 years it's coming back home with the amp I let go of. Get them both back tomorrow.
