Adding "tuner out" to an A/B Box?

[JuanPabloJr.]

To do this, do you just use an SPST switch before the switch for the A/B? I'm guessing you do, with one pole going to the jack for the tuner, and the other going to the DPDT or 3PDT switch used in the A/B function.

 

Is this correct?

A tuner mute is essentially another A/B, so I'd suggest a DPDT or 3PDT if you want an LED.

I think you might want to use a DPDT switch before the 3PDT switch. Reason for double pole is so you can ground the amp input when going to tuner. Some amps don't like not having a grounded input when switching to another amp. Also you want double throw so it goes on, stays on, then when you switch it off it stays off.

This is all from recollection of something I did years ago so feel free to correct anything.

Cool. thanks

Use 3PDTs if you want LEDs, but that's the basic design.
