Small Stone true bypass with LED??

[Jayco]

Hey all..

I'm working up the mods for my Series J Small Stone to make it sound a little more like a Univibe... easy enough.

However, while I've got the case cracked open (and will be moving it to a 1590BB case hopefully), I'd like to add true bypass AND and LED to it.

I've read a few places that say this can't be done because of how the circuit needs to stay charged up etc, but I don't know enough about it to make an educated guess.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
Jim

wire a 3pdt just like a dpdt (signal routing) + an spst (for grounding led)

Yes, but I've read that something about that doesn't work with the Small Stone... its not the LED portion, its the true bypass portion.

Aparently, however its normal bypass works, there is still signal charging the LFO's etc... and without that (using true bypass) the pedal has a delay before it make sound when activated.
