It would essentially be a pair of 2 buttons connected to a TRS jack setup. Similar to the following diagram but use a 1/4" jack instead of a plug.I want 4 buttons within one box. I'd like to use quality Carling switches. I'd need 4 Carling switches, 2 TRS input jacks and housing. Diagram for this anyone?
What type of switch? Momentary or latching? Also if I get the Carling version buttons, what type? I see all these DPST and SPST with on/on and the such. Just need direction.

Thanks. Ordered parts and will document build. If turns out great I may offer to build for others. I'm a guitar tech on the side and wire guitars all the time, just never bought parts for DIY pedals.Here's a part list:
For both switches, connect one terminal to sleeve on the 1/4" jack. And then for one switch connect the other terminal to ring and the other switch connect the other terminal to tip.
- 1 x http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/small-bear-bb/
- 2 x http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/1-4-in-stereo-nys230-u/
- 4 x http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/momentary-spst-nc-soft-touch/
If you opt for NO (normally open) switches instead of NC (normally closed) you'll need to reverse the polarity for them in the FC configuration section on the Axe-Fx III.

Would not need to be too large of gauge, as it is a passive device.What type/guage wire would be appropriate for this?

And you used old skool cloth insulated wire to maintain the vintage switching toneCompleted. I have not painted nor tested yet, and will do so soon. I'll keep you all posted and then offer to build if you all like and want to purchase.
I think the challenge there would be jack and switch placement... Because putting the jack on the short end will force you to move on switch away from the end, since both cannot occupy the same internal space.I think I am going to give this a go myself. Usually I would just buy a switch and plug it in. The problem I have found with this is that none of the boxes are in the config I want. I want a slim, 2 button box with the jack on the short side, everything I see they are on the long side. Seems simple enough to put together.
