SPDT

DPDT is overkill for just on-on.

OOOOHH!!!!! if you just want to go between the half and variable speed, you want a dpdt switch =] if you want regular, half, and variable, you could use this http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea … =EG2413-ND =]

a dp3t switch. if you use a on-off-on switch, make regualr the middle (off) and dont desolder the regular crystal from the board, or else it wont work. if you use an on-on-on switch, you can desolder it and put it on any paired poles =]

I know haha. But I need a switch at the top if I wanna replicate this, but I have zero clue as to how to do both half clock and pitch mod so I'm just doing a backlight switch haha.

You should just skip the backlight switch all together, really.  It's rather pointless since the reflective foil is removed for the backlight.

Hmm...The only problem is that's where I was putting my backlight switch. Oh well, I'll try to save the speaker but if I can't, it's fine. I always have headphones with me anyway.

Here's one I did. The huge knob was just for the video, it was replaced with a different one later.

You can fit a normal sized pot at the top, but you'll likely need to do some relocation.

double post

Well I'm kind of trying to recreate Thretris's monster mod gameboy, so I'm gonna need a normal size one for the guitar knob. Do you think jamming it in the back would work?

i have never needed to remove the speaker to fit mods in a gameboy, there is loads of space, but yea i normally put the pot at the top, i use a mini pot. very easy to do, i have done it for a lot of people. you can buy mini pots from ebay which fit beautifully

Well I was thinking about making the slits in the back and trying to jam the speaker there with longer wires and then keeping the pitch mod kit the same. I'd have to see the actual sizes once I get the parts.

well, theres those slits in the front of the speaker of the case, which is in need to hear it better than shoving it in the back. then for a pot, maybe consider getting rid of the speaker. if not get a micro pot =] happy modding! =]

check getlofi.com he has tutorials there.

Sorry for the double post, but how can I put a switch into the mod here so I can turn this on and off?

Well not yet, I'm still learning my way around LSDJ and such, so maybe soon, as far as effects go But anyway, I'd be using the speaker for quick showing off so I don't have to untangle my headphones or drag an amp around all the time.

But as I see it, cutting a hole in the back seems to be pretty easy to do, and instead of snipping those wires to take the speaker off, I could just make them longer and put it around the back, right? I mean, you only remove the speaker for room for the potentiometer, right?

Just keep ergonomics in mind! My variable clock pot is where the speaker used to be, and it's comfortable to hold. My right-hand thumb arches over it nicely. The speaker's pretty useless for composing and faithful playback, not only because it's quiet, but mainly because it's mono. You do use stereo commands in your music, right?
