50 watt amp project
#8
Hi all;

newbie needs help again. so far everything is working. but there is another preamp to install into my build. I have the D-PRE board assembled, but not connected to switches or the rest of the amp. Since this amp has the Z-PRE already installed i need to install a channel switching mechanism. that would be cool.

So, Q1 - I have a C&K 7101 switch on the panel to control, and a RLY (relay) to execute the switching. I think I can wire the RLY okay but am unsure how to wire the switch. When coming off the coil which of the 3 lugs do I solder to, which goes to ground and which lugs get the cap installed on, kinda assume the two lugs used above.

Q2 - so I want to add foot switch to the panel switch, how do I wire the jack to make everything work well, and where do I put the cap on the footswitch??? From the schematics of RLY it appears I would connect coil side of the Panel switch to the tip contact of the Jack, and ground to ground between switch and jack. is this correct? do I need to add a capacitor in the footswitch or am I covered??

Got more questions probably, but I think this will be enough to get the D-PRE up and running

thanks all
