Farrow	Re: Millenium bypass Depending on the "on" resistance of the FET, the LED may draw too much current. Ever hooked a LED right to a 9V battery? They get real hot and then they go out. The same thing happens with a couple of different kinds of JFETs in the Mil. bypass cct. I never noticed it until I started putting AC adaptor sockets in my pedals. Then I blew a lot of LEDs... I use 1k, it's nice and safe.
