Pedal Hacker Projects - Order Switcher

So I'm setting up my pedalboard and want to play around with A/B order. Does the Digitech Grunge sound better before or after the Boss DeathMetalMasterShred 9000? Chorus before delay? etc. etc. etc.

The traditional way to do this is to to flop the physical order by swapping the cables in and out. But that approach means that it is difficult to actually compare the different orders in real time.

The solution? Build a simple order switcher pedal. This circuit uses a 4PDT switch, six mono jacks, and a few LEDs and a resistor to flip the order of two pedals just by hitting the stompswitch. Here's the wiring diagram:

The 4PDT Switch

You can get 4PDT toggle switches all over the place. 4PDT stomp switches are a bit rarer. But fortunately, Small Bear Electronics carries them. Check it out.
