This may be covered somewhere, but I couldn't locate a topic on the forum.  I want to install true bypass w/ led on my SMM.  It is the 3 prong reissue from the 90's.  Anyone have istructions? thanks

  I'm considering building option B today.

i have limited space on my board, and i know that is a bit hypocritical because the MM is one of the largest pedals on the market...still it sounds great.  I love my board and the size...it keeps me from running a bunch effects I don't need.  I might as well build a loop  :-\

I might try a loop like my friend josh makes over at jhspedal.com  He builds it in a tiny box, cuts a hole in the bottom, and velcro's it over  the existing switch. The only thing is trying to use the stereo outs...would I have to build the loop with 3 in's?

Non-electronic stereo bypass can be tricky. What problem are you trying to solve? If it's sucking tone (rolling off highs) when it's bypassed in your chain, it may be easier to add a simple buffer to the input.

The MM has a huge chunk of real estate on top of it where a tb box could go nicely.
