I made a routing pedal for my pedal board that's sort of double looper - there are 6 jacks - 3 on each side - and a true bypass 3PDT (nine pin) footswitch, which toggles the signal to go through one loop or the other (and a LED for each loop, to indicate which one is active - but that's only if you supply power - there's no room for a battery). It works great, but I don't use it.
Anyway, it's been driving me nuts that the switch only has two states - one loop or the other loop. I would love it if it had three states - running straight through (with no LED lit) as the third option. I order a 4PDT (12 pin) stomp footswitch, but just realized that that just has 3 rows of 4 pins and functions the same as the 3PDT with an extra set of pins, but still only two states. Rats. I guess that's what the "DT" stands for - "Double Throw" means it can "throw" the signal one way or the other other, in a manner of speaking.
Is there even such thing as a 3P3T stomp switch? Triple Throw, that is? Three states?
