help wiring for DD-500 custom bank up/down

[rhoydotp]

I want to make a custom bank up/down using a "Momentary (ON)-Off-(ON) Flat Shaft Toggle" switch. I want to assign this for a CTL1 (up) & CTL2 (down).

Need help on how I need to wire this to a stereo TRS jack ... or is it even going to work?

Thx!

I'd wire the center lug to sleeve, with the two outer lugs to tip and ring. I don't know if that's what the DD-500 expects to see, but then you'd have a switch that connects tip to sleeve in one mode, ring to sleeve in the other, and nothing in the center/resting mode.

Thanks for the input @stinkfoot ! I supposed I can experiment.

Hoping to hear from someone who have tried already, though. I am afraid I might fry the DD-500 by accident!

You are not going to fry anything.
Use google if you can.
Try something.
If it doesn't work I will help you.

But, I'm not really sure that switch will work, the easiest you could do is to use 2 SPST switches.

Funny thing - I saw a pedal on Reverb last night that was custom made for bank up and down - it was basically two footswitches.

Thanks for the input and the assurance. I did try Google and nothing shows up on how a custom controller using this momentary switch for a Boss DD-500 should be wired

Plenty of info on SPST on the internet. But I'm also trying to have this unit as small as possible. And since the "Assign" function on the DD-500 allows for a bank change triggered by momentary switch, I was hoping that this ONE switch would do the trick. I'll do the left ON position for Bank UP, and the right ON position for Bank Down.

Btw, I got the idea of this momentary switch from the Diamond Memory Lane Jr. I have. Although it only uses an ON-OFF momentary toggle, I figure why not do it two directions.

I just ordered it, I guess I will just have to try once the parts arrived.

thanks again @ramonovrki & @Clark GriswoId
