Troubleshooting help

[Gumby212]

Im building a pedal with 2 overdrive circuits in it. While completing one circuit, i had positive and negative leads pre run for the 2nd circuit. I tested the circuit i had completed and it worked great, aside from the clean blend not working, which i didnt have time to investigate before my real problem occurred. After testing the first circuit with somewhat success, one of my pre run positive leads for the second circuit accidentally made contact with the enclosure. Now, the completed circuit still works, and i do have true bypass, but the LED for that circuit no longer turn on and off with the footswitch, but stays on even when the pedal is bypassed. Im using a millineum bypass circuit for this build, would the issue be in that circuit, even tho i still hsve true bypass and LEDs on? What components can go bad from shorting out the pos with neg? Theres also a clean blend for each circuit (that never worked) so im assumming the issue is not in the clean blend circuit. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't completely get you but is actually the effect by-passed in accordance with On-Off switch..??

If yes, then probably your problem is due to "shorted" millenium bypass indicator..

So plz post a scheme of which version of true bypass switch you've used..

Yea im prefty new at this so i dont always make since lol. Sorry for that. Usually i end up solving the problems to my silly questions before an answer gets posted and realize my question didnt make much since... The effect does get bypassed with the on/off switch, but the LED stays on. Im pretty sure i need to replace the millineum bypass circuit

If you tell us which version of Millenium bypass you've used (there are several versions..) we may be able to tell you which item might need replacement (damaged due to your accidental short-circuit).

Although first suspect should be an "open" diode, check for (dis)continuity between +9V/GND/Control on circuit respective joints..

there are some 2N7000's around which cause odd trubbles in the mill circuit. but if you aren't using a 2N7000, it won't bother you.

Oh, i didnt realize there were multiple versions of the mil bypass. I used a bs170, not a 2n7000, but i switched it out bc it was accessable without removing the circuit, thinking it was the culprit, and still no luck. Im just going to replace the entire mil circuit. Thanks for your alls help.

the BS170 is interchangeable w/ the 2N7000 (and that's no B.S.) in this application - but the pinout faces the other way.
