Two Effects - One Enclosure

[rplovanich]

I am wanting to install two effects in one enclosure. Each having its own footswitch but sharing the same input and output jacks. How would I wire these together?

im not the tech a lot of others here are but, if your taking the pedals out of thier original housings to re-house them i dont see why you cant hard wire the output to input and then have the input of the first pedal in housing and the output of second pedal in housing and the two inside soldered. making sure you include the grouding. like an invisible patch cord only permanant.

hello
I already did it. You have to connect the effects in series (the guitar goes in the input of the first effect, then the output of the first one is connected with the input of the second one, and finally the second output goes to the amp).
So you have to choose the order of the effects.
It may be possible to connect them in parallel, but you'll have to make buffers and a "little mixer" to mix the two signals.
I think the best solution is the first one

Another option is a double throw switch which would reverse the order of the two effects, which I did with some of my projects.
