ok guys i need your help.
i have an old dunlop (flop for some of us)
crybaby pedal. yrs ago i pulled the on/off
switch because it just stopped working.
well i put the pedal on the shelf and left it.
yrs go by and i just ordered a switch and its here.
problem is, i forgot which wire goes where.
i found several wiring diagrams on the net but none
have wire color codings. so does anybody
know where i can get a pic of the hookup, showing
what color wire goes where?

I dunno if these are any help or not but this is a Dunlop Cry Baby that I've owned for about twenty years. AFAIK, it's all original so the wire colors may be similar to yours......

Here's a pic.



The green goes to the single lug. The 2 blue goes to the lug near the toe. The purple goes to the lug nearer the heel.


Mr. Nevin beat me to it.

it will still be a day or two before i can get this thing together, but it will give me a chance to use the soldering station ms clause brought me.

If you have problems with the pot I put a black bear in mine and it works great.

cool links guys.

one thing i havent been able to find, EVER, and a challenge to the best
internet researcher, the little rubber gasket/o-ring looking thing the thumb screw
on Boss pedals rides up and down in. i cant find one nowhere.
its the same part theyve used on their pedals for decades too.
know what im talkin about?

Possibly a DPDT. You can use a multi meter to check the 6 poles to see which ones are going to open the on and the off. BYOC's wah instructions has a layout of the wiring for their 3PDT switch where they use only the DPDT function of the switch.

post a link?
if its the pic ive seen our wires arent to same color so i dont know whats what.

i have some boss pedals but have never seen replacements for those rubber o ring things... what you could do is put a piece of fuel line over the actual screw... (the fuel line you get in them lil nitro rc cars... )... there are normaly 2 different sizez...try the thinner one... works on mine...
