wiring a 2 position switch

[saemskin]

Hey guys,

I am working on a couple new projects now that I have a functioning delay!
Anyhow, I picked up a couple different 2 position paddle type switches from Radio Shack.  The one I really like alot is this one



can someone direct me as to how to wire this to the board, including led.  I want to include this switch for my green ringer, I'm going to make the housing out of plastic as well.

please and thank you.

Great link to the beavis tech pages. There is a lot there. Beavis is my favorite builder here.
Tube Cricket, awesome, we're not worthy, we're not worthy! 

That switch looks like a single pole.

How many contacts are on the back? Three?

If so, you will not be able to use an LED with it, even with the Millennium bypass.

Toggle switches don't need an LED anyway. The direction of the paddle indicates its current state.
Just use artwork to label the two sides.

Or get another switch.

got it.
now which lead is ground?  I'm taking a chance and saying its the middle lead which is slightly longer and common sense is telling me that fully left is position 1 and fully right is position 2 however I define them when I wire them.

Nevermind guys, I got it.  Check it out, it sounds pretty cool kind of like a really granulated distortion.



Now I wonder if there is any way to introduce a mix/blend control into this circuit?
How about a tone control?

How satisfying is it to make this stuff....
