Adrian	Re: Millenium 2 Question I am wrestling with a Mil @ right now myself. I first installed it in my DIY Hog's Foot incorrectly, tying its control line to a jumper tying two switch lugs together in th"Standard" dpdt setup : eff. in - eff. out in jack - out jack jumper - Mil/jumper Oddly enough this worked, I'm not sure why - would only work with the bass plugged in (not just the cord) - Oddity - The led would light with the effect switched off the led would flash on very hard hit low notes. This I get, as the bass can produce about a 2 volt peak. Yesterday I rewired the jack correctly (as per a previous post - like the True Bypass w/mil Box - which I have made and works great) and although the led functions correctly the booster has a slight volume drop coupled with an ugly odd distortion. I Tested the transistor (2N7000) for failure but it was ok - tried a sub also. When the device was on and I shorted out the mil board with my finger the pedal sounded normal again. When I get back home from work I'm going to get at it again but any info that might point me in the right direction will be of great help!

Re: Millenium 2 Question

I am wrestling with a Mil @ right now myself. I first installed it in my DIY Hog's Foot incorrectly, tying its control line to a jumper tying two switch lugs together in th"Standard" dpdt setup :
eff. in - eff. out
in jack - out jack
jumper - Mil/jumper

Oddly enough this worked, I'm not sure why - would only work with the bass plugged in (not just the cord) - Oddity - The led would light with the effect switched off the led would flash on very hard hit low notes. This I get, as the bass can produce about a 2 volt peak.
