- This is the first in a series of videos where we look at the processes involved in making a guitar FX Pedal.
In this video we look at some of the more common types of bypass switching found in some guitar FX pedals. Starting with a look at basic switches, switching circuits and L.E.D. indicators.
We also reverse engineer the switching in an EHX Small Stone from 1976 and, later on, a small switching board that mounts directly onto the foot switch.
SPDT, DPDT, 3PDT, True Bypass, grounded inputs, and L.E.D. indicators are all covered here.
Power jack switching is not covered in Part 1, Part 2 will cover this.

Fantastically explained thankyou.
This is a very well-laid-out teaching on how to build a true bypass switch. I really enjoyed how you illustrated and repeated every single step of the circuit and made it so perfectly easy to understand and internalize the content. Awesome job!
Great and informative video on switches! Your clear and articulated teaching style provided exactly the level of detail and diagramming that I’ve been needing as I figure out how to work with pedal switches. You ought to have so many more subscribers. You have at least one new one as of right now. Well done, sir!
Finally someone made this video!
So happy to see a new video, Stu! This was very useful - I was following along drawing my own diagrams and trying to map out connections on a 3PDT switch. All explanations were very clear and helpful, as usual - can't wait to see the next videos!
Thanks, Bruno. I had fun reverse engineering that circuitboard and it's really great to hear that this is useful. I'm planning the next part now, it will be on wiring the input/output jacks, grounds and power to complete a pedal.
Has the next video been made? Just watched and the way you explain it just makes sense to me!
