Hi,

I was reading the GEO article on the millenium bypass and it says not to use any old diode as a low leakage diode. In that case, what should I use? I'm not sure I understood the article. I am making this board:

Use the collector-base junction of an ordinary NPN transistor. Cut off the emitter, use the base as the anode, the collector as the cathode.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

That simple huh?

Thanks for that  ;)
