Active/Passive Volume Pedal Mod

I've got a Ernie Ball VP Jr. that I'm looking to install a buffer in and make it active. Two reasons for this. I want to put a buffer at the beginning of my chain, and I want to be able to utilize the Tuner Out without the "tone suck" happening. So, I bought an A. Zilt's Micro Buffer/Splitter from Jacob a couple months ago and was looking to use that as the buffer and the splitter for the Tuner Out. Pretty easy, ya? Then I had to go and make things more complex for myself. haha.

I'm looking at putting in a switch to be able to switch from an active, buffered, tuner out volume pedal to a simple in and out, non-buffered volume pedal. I drew up something and it seems like it should work, but I wanted to run it by some people who are a lot smarter at this than me.

So, here's the drawing I put together really quick. Will that work?



A couple of notes on this:

- There is a CLR on the PCB so that's not shown.

- I've got an On/Off/On DPDT switch in my stock. Do I need to get a strictly On/On switch?


Thanks guys!
