that is effectively a Y-Splitter in off-mode.  not the best idea.  you might want to look into adding a buffer or two.

What you've got there is probably the same thing as in the link, because they say it will work without power.  But yeah, just passively splitting the signal like that isn't the best way to do it.  You could improve on the design by buffering the outputs.  Of course if you're running a buffered pedal right afterward it doesn't matter.

You could wire it with an LED if you used RG's millenium bypass.
