Subject: RE: No more guessing!

RE: the bypass light - don't really care. Green = ON, I guess.

RE: bypass jack - should be able to bypass with a gate signal as well as a
footswitch. Nothing plugged in should mean it's active.

RE: Up & down rate pots - 2 ways to go here are that pots switch to become
attenuators on the jax, or pots remain offset level and jax are
unattenuated. I'd probably prefer the latter, although it's a close call.
