Apollo Tremolo footswitch wiring problem that makes me mad !

lottetashilama · May 10th 2022

Hi everybody,

I’m in trouble with my apollo main foot switch.

At first, I’ve wired it as specified on the doc, with the wires going straight to the footswitch lugs.

But then I had no bypassed sound.

So I decided to use a standart 3pdt board to make things cleaner, and hopefully easier.

Then, surprise, there is no lug available on the pcb switch for the wire coming from S6

Duh !

Any idea anyone ?

Thanks,

Alex

I think you reversed something by wiring or forgot a link on the switch,pls doublecheck !! your wiring!

No,it make things complicater,3pdt PCB´s are possible in a lot of variations,you need one with connection for the LED,than therefore is the connection S6 of your main PCB!

Next Time pls link Schematics!
