Title: Help with wiring a power switch + led
Post by: LexNZ on October 09, 2014, 12:05:38 AM
Hi, i'm building a test bench and using a beavisaudio wiring guide: http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/SchematicToReality/fig8.1.gif (http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/SchematicToReality/fig8.1.gif)

But I also need a power switch (spdt?) and LED.

I have an idea but want to make sure since i'm such a beginner  :)

Thanks,
Lex

Why?

When not in use, un-plug.

Wall-wart won't deliver power when you un-plug it from the effect.

Battery gets disconnected when you take the plug out of the Input jack.

+1  just build it as it is....no need for extra parts etc..

your led will go on/off when you use the footswitch just as a normal pedal does... 8)
