StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Does anyone have any idea how to build a rack multi selector? I need to build one with 4 inputs for: Wireless 1 Wireless 2 Cable Mute Also, i want to be able to have a tiny led above each selector switch so i can tell which channel is in use. If anyone can help me i'll be so greatly appreciative! I would go and buy one of the Whirlwind ones but lets face it, £300 is quite expensive Cheers Stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yep, off the top of my head - if you are happy with a passive one with a rotory switch to be mounted in your rack case, I think I can cobble a schematic together. I actually had a spare rotary switch somewhere, so I know it is possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Five of these [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1252"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1252[/url] (That's four inputs and one output) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Stevie, PM me with details of what you're after and I'll see what I can come up with. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 [attachment=61820:Multi_20...uncher_3.gif] Here's a REALLY rough method of switching. I've nabbed a diagram from the web really quickly and bastardised it, so it's very ugly. You can see this box is for three outputs. A mute could take the fourth pin on the rotary switch and connect it to the ground via a 1M Ohm 1/4W resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Along these lines, but more so, I've always wanted a rack thingy to be able to plug both channels of my compressor in and then select the signal path (through one, none, both, parallel and series), with a footswich to control it (but not sending the signal down to the footswitch, cos that would be daft. I am full of great ideas, but have the electronics design abilities of the average natterjack toad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hey there Thanks very much for all the replies, especially to d00d on this one for going all out and finding the parts needed for it as well. I'm going to be really picky here and ask if you know what the sort of buttons are that you find on the front of most old Trace Elliots (especially Series 6 GP12's) where you used to press the button and it would activate the EQ or turn it off but it would not lock in when you pressed it as those are the sort I want for the channel switching. I think these are the ones [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=2337"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=2337[/url] Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
