Since I posted the video below back in 2020, I've had several comments asking how to add a bypass switch. I decided to make a a newer revision of the circuit for my friend Steve.

You can use the method outlined in this video to add a bypass switch and LED to any effect circuit that doesn't already have a switch. It is true bypass and relatively easy to do.

Do you ever use a pull down resistor to prevent switch click? 1M-2.2M are the usual suspects? I put them at the input & output to be safe?
I've not had a big problem with that but this is a good thing to know for the future. It's simple enough. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another good one for the "just can't leave it alone" types out there!!! 🤭
Exactly.
