Hi i am building a buffered a/b box with dual truebypass loops. I iwill be using the third set of poles on a 3pdt  switch channels on my amp. would the millenium bypass work here to add an indicator for the loops? any help/advce would be awesome.

thanks

Not really sure what you are trying to do. The Millenium (all versions) needs an actual effect to work. So is your buffer supposed to be on all the time, or is it seitched along with the loops? Have you read the articles describing the Millenia at Geofex?

Yeah - or at least it needs a DC resistor to ground where the effect would be. I've managed to get ABetc boxes to work by faking the effect as just a resistor pulldown with the millenium.

But you're right, I'm not sure what newb is trying to do. Diagrams??

im at work so i cant get a diagram going but im basically building dual loop box with an a/b on the output. I have 3pdt stompswitches for the loops(on/off for each) but i am using the 3rd pole on the switches to switch chanels on my amp. somewhat like the radial loopbone.

so in place of an effect i just put a resistor from signal to ground?

Let's see your diagram.

The millenium is a sensitive detector of the difference between a high resistance - 1M or a bit more - to ground versus an open circuit. Any time you can concoct that situation to happen, the Millenium will serve as an indicator.
