Wiring

This diagram shows the HB2 wiring without an LED and is for a DPDT switch (since that is what many of the Crybaby 

Wahs come with). You are welcome to use an LED indicator if you want, though. Just use a 3PDT and do the same wiring, 

adding the LED anode and ground to the extra column. IOW, wire it exactly like the typical madbeanpedals bypass. You 

will also need to add a CLR wired to the positive tab of the DC jack.

Speaking of switches: if you are buying a bypass switch for your shell try to get a long shaft one. The normal 3PDT switch 

is a bit too short and requires extra padding to actuate. These switches eliminate that problem.
