General wiring diagrams

That's brilliant! Thanks, Brian!

Hi,

Hello everybody (it's my first post). I've got a little question about the jack's sleeve connections. I've seen in the simple diagram (the one with only a 3PDT for a simple effects) the output jack sleeve isn't connected anywhere and in the one with two 3PDT (like the aristocrat) is the input jack sleeve the one not connected. Is there any problem if I connect them to ground in the 3PDT for painted enclosures?

Thanks!

It is perfectly fine to connect both the input and output jacks to ground. Usually this is done through the enclosure if you are using a metal enclosure. If your enclosure is painted on the outside, but the inside is unpainted, it will likely still make a ground connection, especially if you drill after painting. The act of drilling often makes for a good connection between the jack and ground.

The new wiring diagram is great!

Have you ever considered building a little PCB that we could mount footswitchs on?  I received one with a Mammoth order I made.  I didn't use it (because it wasn't the same layout as what we have here) but I see where it could make things a LOT easier.  The holes in the PCB were big enough that you could insert a NON-PCB mounted switch into the PCB.  Pretty cool.  If you made them I'd buy one for every build.

In fact I do have one that's being worked on. I had a couple prototypes made but I had messed up the pins for the DC jack (the DC and IN/OUT jacks mount to the board). I revised it and I have some new prototypes on the way. If it works out and I can make an accurate drilling template for the jacks I will be offering it.

Nice.  Let us know when it's avalible.

Hey, Brian. The new wiring diagram is great. Maybe link to it from the projects page? Or link to this forum post. Just a thought!

There's actually a link on the Projects page. It's in the upper right hand margin of the page.

I'm still eager for the learn section. How close it that coming to being done or at least viewable?

Noob question here, what would the orientation of the switch be for the madbean wiring of the 3pdt? Are the poles aligned with the sides with the holes facing vertically or horizontally? i.e.
  ABC
1 l l l
2 l l l
3 l l l

vs
A B C
1- - -
2- - -
3- - -
?
thanks in advance.

Sorry about that, just found the answer to that question...for some reason my computer was having a hard time with page 2 of this thread. Thanks for the help (almost done my first build! Hopefully it works!)

Hi Brian,

Do you have a wiring diagram for two stuffing two effects in one enclosure using the same 9V source?

How is the output of effect #1 connected to input of effect #2?

Thanks

Instead of output of effect 1 going to the tip of the out jack it goes right into effect 2 in.
