I have finished the b-face board pnp pos ground, from GGG and am now trying to understand the wiring of off board parts .The layout shows a dpdt switch for true bypass dc jack and battery.The problem is I wanted to use a 3pdt fuller switch along with the dc jack ,led,and battery.This project uses 4 pots and is not wired like any of the samples on the GGG web site.I would think the b-face would be a great candidate  for a complete wiring layout with the 3pdt switch.Im hoping one of you all might have already done this box and can explain and/or can send a wiring layout to me I just cant seem to get it    thanks

At GGG, if you click on the *articles* link, you will find the bypass switching page and this:

Three rows of Dpst's
 use the DMM if you're not familiar with DPDT or 3PDTD's to see what the connections are with the switch on and off, drawing it out isn't a bad idea the first time.
 LED/4k7...anything below 4k7 may burn LED's depending on Battery voltage etc. larger values can light the LED less brightly.
  Basically it wires just like a True Bypass DPDT affair, with an extra 'row' of lugs. if you get a lamp going [LED+4k7] and orient it [polarity sensative] so it lights, you can pick a couple lugs to make/break the connection on either side of the LED/4k7.get the cct going in the on position, then find two usused lugs that are connected on the switch and splice the switch into the LED 4k7.
 There's a Bypass article at GEO, with diagrams, that shows DPDT TB wiring, and BP other methods.

I will get the ddm out and check out the switch but Id still like a wiring layout for this GGG pedal ,this is my first pedal with this set up and Id like to be able to see it .
This pedal not only is pnp positive ground but will have led and a dc jack.It also has 4 pots to wire up volume, conture, fuzz,bias, that s where the most confusion lies.There are many layouts on line for the basic how to wire a 3pdt switch but Im unsure how it all comes together. so what Im looking for is a complete wiring layout for this  pedal.Ill admit to being a newbe ,thats why I need the wiring layout on paper.If anyone would send me this drawing Id be glad to compinsate as well as to post it here . any one????
