>Resource to buy clam-shell style pedals.
You know, I actually don't. I simply rebuilt an old Boss CS-3 to do that. I know they exist, I've seen them before, but I cant recall where.

Haha, yeah I know. Pretty dumb of me honestly, but hey, live and learn. Just a warning to others who aren't aware of the follies of cheap 3PDTs.

That would explain a lot. I've looked up OTAs before for some unique pedal builds. I shelved the idea when I saw the availability of the OTAs I was looking for. As for datasheets, I've got so many that part numbers sometimes bleed together.

Glad I could help.
That's exactly right, wiring the LED to the board will ensure you have a positive identifier that the board is either powered or not powered.
This is incredibly helpful the first time you put your circuit into the enclosure, once everything is inside of the box, and you test the effect on/bypass, if you notice that you're not getting any sound from the circuit when you toggle the switch, you can safely assume that the problem doesn't stem from an unpowered circuit if the LED is lit.

Which means you probably have a bad component or a broken trace somewhere. Not the most relieving sense of relief in the world, but at least it narrows the issues down.

Also, I did not know that existed in EAGLE, live and learn. It is way too complicated looking for what it is though, I've just gotten used to pretending the offboard wiring doesn't exist on the schematic view of EAGLE.

I'm sure they will, I keep reference drawings of mine all over because of how useful a visual reference can be.

HAPPY BUILDING!
