I have a Casper echo bender built up on stripboard and everything works...time to box up. But I don't know how to wire an effects loop for the wetted signal. Can someone please digram this for me? I'm totally backwards on this point.
I included the holy island schem I worked from.

The schematic shows where send and return are, right? So those points go to the two jacks, but you need one jack to be a "Normally Closed" (NC) type, i.e. there is another lug which normally is attached to the tip lug, but when you stick a plug the tip contact is lifted and now the connection is broken. So the wires go to the tip of send and return, and the NC tip lug of the Send goes to the Tip of Return.
Here is a pic. The ones I get usually have a NC lug for the Ring also, so "stereo" type jack. This is the simplest config.

Hi,

I actually posted about an effects loop yesterday. The build i'n on now also uses one: https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/theseus_documentation.pdf

Check the wiring page with FX Loop, its a very clear wiring diagram.

You dont nessesarily need the 6-pin socket. A 3-pin also works.

Good luck and happy building!
