James,

Parts:

Two spst pushbutton switches
Two RCA jacks
Length of shielded cable with two hot wires
Box
Rubber grommet for where the wire leaves the box

The vibrato switch merely shorts hot to ground – the ground of the plus
is not even connected

The reverb switch uses a shielded cable (the shield and one hot), and
hitting the switch clses the circuit so that shield and hot are
connected.

Good luck

Paul

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
