Whar Signal Goes? Whar??!!!
You can see from this snippet that the Switching Board utilizes an effect-input grounding scheme. IOW, when the audio
circuit is bypassed its input is grounded.
So Good, You Bought It Twice
The Switching Board has one other feature: a secondary momentary mode. In this mode, the switching behaves like a
momentary on/off rather than a latching switch. Don’t worry – it’s still true bypass. In this mode the effect is only on while
you have the foot-switch pressed.
To activate momentary mode, do not press the switch for 5 seconds. Then tap it twice quickly. Now press and hold for a
few seconds until the LED starts to blink. You are not in momentary mode.
To de-activate momentary mode and go back to latching mode, do the same process again. Wait 5 seconds, tap, tap,
hold. If you encounter problems switching back disconnect/reconnect the DC power.
Note
- The schematic lists the jack as NMJ6HCD2-SM. This is a “sleeve make” jack. When the jack is inserted, it lifts
the sleeve to connect to the switched portion of the jack (thus connecting DC ground to the circuit ground). The
schematic labels this pin as “SN” but it should be “SM”.
