\"Mini<\/a>I guess almost anyone who uses one or more pedals with tap tempo on his pedalboard have thought about a device that is able to tap several pedals at the same time.<\/p>\n

Enclosure<\/h3>\n

For my DIY mini tap controller I chose the smallest Hammond<\/a> enclosure. Ideally it a pedal like this should only need small space on my pedalboard which is almost overcrowded anyway.<\/p>\n

Switches and jacks<\/h3>\n

For the footswitch I drilled a 0.47\u201d hole in the top and two 0.35\u201d holes for two jacks in the front of the enclosure.<\/p>\n

The footswitch is a DPDT switch<\/a> with 6 pins, so both jacks can be wired separately. I use a mono jack (the standard tap for most delay pedals with external tap tempo) and a stereo jack (for Strymon<\/a> pedals).
\nIf you use two mono outputs, you can also use a simple footswitch and separate the two jacks by adding a diode.<\/p>\n

Additionally I installed an internal little switch for the mono jack to alternate between \u201cnormally open\u201d (suitable for most pedals) and \u201cnormally closed\u201d (Boss<\/a> standard).<\/p>\n

I lacquered the enclosure with white color and installed the switch and the two jacks.<\/p>\n

The wiring<\/h3>\n

\"Wiring<\/p>\n

For a safe stand I glued rubber feet to the bottom.<\/p>\n

The switch works very precisely and can be tapped easily.<\/p>\n

In a bigger enclosure you can also use several mono jacks (but just like I wrote above, these will have to be separated by diodes).<\/p>\n

This small project is done simply is recommended for every delay nerd.<\/p>\n

If you want to install such a switch you will have to connect the tip of the input jack with the pin in the middle of the new switch (this one must have three pins \u2013 you will need an on\/on switch).<\/p>\n

\"wiring<\/p>\n

After you have connected each of the outer two pins of this new switch with the outer pins of the x wing foot switch, you will have to connect the pin in the middle of the x wing foot switch with the shaft of the mono jack.<\/p>\n

Now you will be able to switch between \u201cnormally open\u201d and \u201cnormally closed\u201d.<\/p>\n
