What mosfet did you use?<br />Milennium bypass will only work when attached to the effect and so you can't test it standalone, but I'm assuming you must have it attached to the Katana already? <br /><br />The circuit is so simple and definitely works, so if you're having problems you must have an issue with your build or a components. Maybe post a front and back pic to see if we can spot anything amissIvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-18646271420078259012014-03-27T23:15:08.123+00:002014-03-27T23:15:08.123+00:00Yours :)) Millenium bypass 2...and when I connect ...Yours :)) Millenium bypass 2...and when I connect the DC the led goes on shortly and after when I press the switch the effect works but the led doesn't :( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433581678358620839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-88026688771303529282014-03-27T23:13:06.555+00:002014-03-27T23:13:06.555+00:00Yours LolL :) Millennium bypass 2...And when I con...Yours LolL :) Millennium bypass 2...And when I connect the DC the led goes shortly on<br /> but when I click the switch the pedal works like it should be but the led stays off :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433581678358620839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-13560384728204298432014-03-27T23:04:14.424+00:002014-03-27T23:04:14.424+00:00Which millenium bypass layout have you used?Which millenium bypass layout have you used?IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-43064610592436728652014-03-27T22:23:18.279+00:002014-03-27T22:23:18.279+00:00Hi Pablo, the switch between the two positions cau...Hi Pablo, the switch between the two positions causes some pop but you wont use it in the middle of a gig :) As I have mentioned I have put a DPDT on/off main switch and it works like a charm.

Everything seems to work, but maybe it's me, but it seems the clean boost is REALLY dark. As there isn't a tone/treble knob, I'm wondering if something is wrong or if it's supposed to be this way. I'm thinking not as it's touted as being very transparent.<br /><br />When testing with a battery, I get 16.9v.<br /><br />IC pinouts are 8.6--4.3--0--0--0--4--3.6--8.6<br /><br />JFETs are both D8.4--S1.2--G0<br /><br />Any thoughts?

( When the switch is in the overdrive off position the caps aren't shorting? ) Thanks a lot for all work that everybody has done!!!<br /><br /> Pablo.maindoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782224906748650356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-20366514503652538862013-10-04T11:54:30.022+01:002013-10-04T11:54:30.022+01:00Hi

Can someone help me?<br />The input jack goes straight to "input" signed in the scheme? Or goes to pin2 in the switch with the 10u cap?<br />Where is the output jack? The conection is the pin4 in switch, with 150n?<br />And where goes the LED catode?<br />Thanks!!!<br />JaderAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424103353044352219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-81739302979552889962013-07-11T06:44:37.751+01:002013-07-11T06:44:37.751+01:00Excellent!
