Can't get onto GGG and I need help with bypass switching

Sorry, I know this is found elsewhere, but for a few days I haven't been able to get to GGG, geofx and a bunch of other sites, I have no idea why but it's pissing me off........ What I am after is a diagram for wiring layout for the millenium 2 (I have the pic for millenium 1 saved on my pc but I can't remember if they are the same). I've built the whole switching mini-board, I just need to wire it up, so if someone can point me to a link that is not on the mentioned websites showing how to wire the DPDT switch, jacks etc. it would be a great help!

I can't get onto that website either....!!!!! Nevermind I'll go with what I think is right. " In this variation, one SPDT pole is wired to the input jack with throws on the effect input and the output jack. The second SPDT pole is wired to the effect output and the throws are connected to the output jack and the LED switch circuitry." I guess this would apply to both versions, so I'll do that.

what you think is right  ;)

I usually begin with a diagonal jumper on the switch, to connect those 2 "to the output jack" poles...

The image on http://aronnelson.com/gallery/TheBigMan-Layouts/MBswitchwiring shows a 100k resistor to ground just after the effect's output. I never needed that before, the effects i've built so far already had a pull down resistor at the output...

I'm suprised you can't get on the layout site I posted as it's basically this site? Look on the top of this screen and click on layouts. That's where it's at.

Thanks, tonepad works. I don't know what's going on but I really have to get it fixed. Anyway I was right about the connections, but now I find I got sold four mono jacks instead of two and two stereo, unless I am doing something wrong but the stereo cable (haha got it right this time) doesn't seem to tell the difference between ring and sleeve...
