Oh i didn't draw the main part my self, i just started with this and then used paint to make some parts red and drew the green line. Then on the switching schematic i started with the flip flop schematic from the same file and cut it out and added and removed some parts again with paint.

IDK if anyone is aware, but a guy named Martin Chittum (goes by Soul Sonic) figured out how to mount an E Switch (DPDT) in place of the stock Boss momentary, and then added R.G. Keen's millenium bypass to it, to allow for the status LED.

...I actually don't even bother with the m.b. when I add the switch, but I know that this would probably drive some folks nuts.

The nice thing about the E Switch is that it's cheap and EASY. And it seems fairly durable as well. And I LOVE that I don't have to do anything non-reversible to the Boss enclosure.

I haven't bothered to give links to Martin's or R.G.'s stuff, as they are really easy to locate.

The E Switch is an awesome solution, IMO, and eliminates so many headaches from the t.b. conversion challenge.

I did some googling and found Martin Chittum's: Facebook, Twitter and blog. but nothing about installing a E switch into a Boss Pedal.

With E switch are you refering to the brand? www.e-switch.com

I've been in the proccess of removing the flip-flop circuit but ive been busy so its taking a while. I did successfully hardwire the pedal to be on all the time.

That switch is "alternate" action. Is that latching? If we do want the alternate action one, why not use the 4pdt(Digikey part# EG1874-ND)and ditch the millennium bypass? I guess it might be too big or something maybe.

A 3PDT would already be enough to make the pedal true bypass without the millenium bypass

I realize a 3pdt is enough but I didn't see a small switch like the ones we are talking about in a 3pdt. Just dpdt and 4pdt.
