/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ah, well the libraries can be really tricky sometimes.

A lot of pedals end with the middle lug of an pot, that's just your typical "LEVEL" / "VOLUME" rig, to wire that up in EAGLE, you'll need to work on the "board" side, not the "schematic" side. On the board side you can place vias, and run traces anywhere you'd like, so you just need to run a trace somewhere you're comfortable with drilling a hole to wire to the output jack.

Something you should know,
OFFBOARD wiring is everything that isn't on the board, switches, pots, jacks. That's stuff that shouldn't be bothered to be shown on the schem, (except pots) because it will often be the same no matter what pedal you design.

You can definitely string effects though, some very popular pieces are effect pedals that stick more than one effect in the same enclosure.
So yeah, you can just start another schematic, (preferably on another board, for reliability reasons) and wire the output of one to the input of the other, or to a EFFECT/BYPASS switch.

Okay, so let's talk about offboard wiring.
You're going to want to use a stereo jack for the input, and a mono jack for the output.

You really don't want to wire the output of the circuit directly to the output jack, that means that you'd have some issues with bypassing the effect in case you want to turn it on or off while playing.

I've made three pictures to explain offboard wiring, i'll talk you through it too to help.

First: The offboard wiring is shown here.
Using a 3PDT, you wire everything to the switch.The switch controls everything.

The positive voltage goes through the switch, to be connected to the circuit.
The input and output jacks are also connected to the switch to be connected to either the circuit, or each other.

I wire my LEDs so that they're connected to the circuit, this lets me know without a shadow of a doubt that the circuit is powered.
