    1. There are several ways to wire a 3PDT switch w/ LED ... I have been doing mine with a different layout that grounds 3 of the lugs.

    2. Look at the top of this page, the beige background 3PDT switch. This is the wiring layout I use now for my builds.

  2. I am building a cabinet switching foot pedal with a "make before break" circuit so the amp always sees a load. I have some 9 pin or 3PDT push button footswitches and want to wire it so one cab is "up" and the other is "down" switchwise and has a 100 Ohm resistor in place..any thoughts?
