Hello all I'm planning wire up a 3pdt switch to switch between two effects I want to be switching mid song. What's the best way to wire this up to avoid popping? Thanks. (Below is my current idea for wiring which I assume will pop)

    Led effect 1 I       earth I     led effect 2 I
  Effect 1 send I   pedal in I   Effect 2 send I
Effect 1 return I pedal out I Effect 2 return I

Looks like it will work.
I think some resistors to ground on input and output on both sides can help with popping.

3PDT switches are ALWAYS used to switch between two effects.  One of those effects is the magical influence of a short piece of wire between two of the solder lugs!  Of course, you could always run a pair of wires from those two solder lugs to a different effect, instead of the straight wire connection.   :icon_wink:

But seriously, we get so accustomed to thinking about some things a certain way, that we fail to spot the obvious sometimes.

I'd never though of it like that.  ???  And now I'm grinning like an eejit.   :D
