Millenium Bypass "C" (4049)
Hi,
I need some help, the LED stays on when the effect is bypassed.
I used this layout:

and this hookup:

I used a 1k5 resistor for R1
Can't figure this one out.
Thanks,
Mike

After struggling with this for a couple days, checking and rechecking my soldering and trying different resistor values I decided to take out the Millenium C and replace it with a Millenium 1 using a J201. Same problem, LED stays on.
So then I removed the stomp switch and wired the control of the Mill 1 directly to the output of the effect, same problem.
I remembered reading the effect needs to have a high DC resistance to ground for the Mill 1 to work, so I then connected the control of the Mill 1 to a 3 meg resistor to ground instead of the output of the effect and the LED goes out. Disconnect from the 3 Meg and the LED is back on. OMG!
I measure 12k from the effect output to ground, is this the problem???
The effect is a Wampler 57 clone.
