Beauty Boosted VP Jr

I got one of those Ernie Ball VP Jr pedals for Christmas, put it on my board, and instantly noticed that it sucked some tone and/or level away, even at full volume. I also happened to have a JMK Beauty Boost conveniently close by. I'm thinking about throwing it into my VP Jr with a toggle to bypass it if I want.

If I use a spdt, do I wire the output of the vp to the center lug, one lug to the output jack, and the other lug thru the beauty boost, and also to the output jack? Do I need to throw a resistor in there somewhere?

Just have to decide if I want to put holes in my brand new pedal...
Hell yes!
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

There is a small circuit board in there.  I ended up leaving the board in there and moving the board.  I did a Klon buffer with dual outputs and tapped into the existing pcb.

Cool. I'm now finding out how much stuff is out there about this already.
I always forget. Search first, THEN post. LOL

How did you do that with dual outputs? Just use two leads from the same output trace?
