Loop switcher help needed!

Post by fatherjack »

I have a standard MXR size enclosure, some jacks, 3pdt switches, LED, wire and a dc in socket.
What else would I need to knock up a true bypass loop switcher with 2 loops? Is it feasible to get 2 sets of send/return plus input & output jacks in a small box?
I'm a novice when it comes to wiring stuff, but I reckon this should be reasonably simple and will make good use of the parts I have lying around.
Cheers

It's possible, but it will be a very tight fit...

I built one but I had to put in washers to have some jacks a bit deeper than others - it's a very tight drilling exercise :)

Anyone got a decent layout for one of these (that's easy to follow)?
I'd like to build one with a single loop but two switches: one regular stompswitch and a second momentary switch. Can you just run the wires to the two switches or is that going to be a problem?

EDIT: Sorry, I just realised that was a total thread hijack. My bad. Image
Dear Bongo, No.
Good deals with all these guys
