Switchable boost in a circuit

recently I purchased 3x fuzzrite clone pcbs and I thought it would be a cool idea to add a sho booster clone to the circuit.

what I want to do is have a toggle switch that turns the boost on or off like on my cae mc404 wah pedal
I have a on/on 2pdt toggle switch on hand.

thanks in advance

You can do it without an LED. Just use the middle and righthand rows on the madbean standard wiring diagram as an example for your DPDT and you can put it in series with the fuzz. "Output jack" from one effect goes in place of the "input jack" from the other.

However, I highly recommend testing this on a breadboard or testing rig first if you haven't already, because I can't think of any combination of these two circuits that would be really useful. The Mosrite already has an absolutely massive amount of gain (many people mod their build so it has LESS gain), and it's also extremely loud (unity is like 10:00), so I'm not really sure where you would want the boost.

yeah I guess the boost would be too much.

such a little circuit board was just thinking of things I could add to fill up some room
