Here's my idea for a Blues Jr. footswitch to control the Fat boost. I'm going to mount it into my pedalboard, so I won't be making an enclosure, and I'll be using a 1/4" jack to plug in a cable. Does this look correct?

Well I tried it out, and this works just fine. The Fat is engaged, the LED comes on. A simple little project with satisfying results.

Very cool! Can you give more details on this? An actual picture?

I haven't mounted it, yet. I'll take pictures when I do.

This was a very simple thing to make, and in fact, does not require a DPDT switch since only two lugs were used. Just wire it up just like the diagram. You leave Fat Switch on the amp in the off position, and the footswitch does all the work.
