switching overdrive and channel simultaneously... solution?

[Commander Coo1]

so i modified my channel switching stomp and my overdrive pedal so that both are in the same housing so that it is much easier to hit both at the same time, so i dont have to play cleans with overdrive or dist. without it.

this is what i did:

i removed the channel switcher from its housing, drilled 2 holes in my overdrive's housing, then put the channel switcher inside the OD. seems pretty good, just thought i would let everone know about it... yeah...

Clever! If the switch for the overdrive pedal is a SPDT or a DPDT, you should be able to swap it for a switch with an additional pole (DPTDT or 3PDT, respectivly), wire the channel selection to the extra pole, and have everything on one switch.

Looks like a 'screamer clone.

Cool idea. Now if we could just figure out how to do it for the three-channel amps...
