Hi Dom Sorry for the late answer, I was on vacation until today.
You have three possibilties. 1) Build another AmpSwitch circuit and use the plugin you already use for both of them. 2) Use PowerSwitch II for the new SB3 in parallel with the existing AmpSwitch. (I have not tried to use both plugins at the same time, but I don't see why it should not work.) 3) Use the new PowerSwitch II for both of your SBs. For this solution you would need to replace your existing AmpSwitch circuit. Some technical background that might help you decide. When I initially coded IRBlaster support for SB2/3 into the firmware I did not think to add a possibility to permanently turn on the output as this was not needed for IRBlaster. That is why AmpSwitch actually switches between headphone out (floating) and IRBlaster (pulled to GND). Then Transporter added a dedicated IR out jack and I enhanced the firmware and added the possibility to turn the output on permanently. Also on Transporter the output cannot be set to floating anymore. This was the reason for PowerSwitch. As SB2/3 and Transporter share the IRBlaster code this change also made it into newer SB2/3 firmware revisions, hence I simplified the situation by only providing one solution - PowerSwitch II. Nevertheless AmpSwitch continues to work for SB2/3 also with the latest firmware.

But one day someone came along who didn't know about this - and did it.
