I have ran into a roadblock on my devi ever US project. I can't seem to find any lay outs for a spdt switch. Which of the poles is for input/output/ and which poles goes to the jack. Im working with a spdt switch with the poles all in a line, they are numbered 1 2 3, above 1 it says on, above 2 it says com, and above 3 is says on.


Thanks
James

you can say the switch is 1 2 3 or 3 2 1. it is all the same. middle lug on the switch is always 2.

So then which lugs get sent to the output and which one is the reciever, and which one goes to the out put jack.

What function does the switch serve? Like a chaos mode or? You wouldn't be using a spdt for bypass...
