Some ideas on it....
If you add some 1 meg resistors like shown on the FX in and FX out jacks,it'll stop the switch from popping on you....Mine lacks the switch and the LEDs are just there for show and aren't hooked up...I think you could use 1 Led if you added a small power supply and used Fulltone's 3DPT Stomp switch....

That is exactly how I have mine wired. Except 1 led. Yeah, with a 3pdt switch it works beautifully. I put a 1 meg resistor on the input and output of the pedal. It makes it perfect. With the bypass off (the loop enabled) and only 1 1 meg resistor on the output, you can hear clicks on some pedals, some of the time.

Very cool....I'm going to let my buddy Ron in my band use this one..

Oh yes, John, I know you know how to wire this, but for anyone else, this is how you wire 2 led's up like John has layed out (I'm sure he'll wire them up soon :) ) If you only want one 1 led that lights up with the bypass is on or off, just remove one of the led's from the diagram and you're good to go. If you use a 9V DC power supply, a current limiting resistor of about 4k should be sufficient. Have fun guys!

These are very handy. I've made about 20 of these total. No, not all for me. Haha I make these in my town and sell them to my friends and whatnot.

Cool John. I'm going to build one of these up myself this week. I have a couple of more "mod" ideas that I think will be simple and useful, but I want to test them before I post them.

Stay tuna-ed.
