I'm currently building my 820 kit, and I've been planning a few mods
(basically the oakley 820 mods done on a perfboard since the PCBs are
no longer available).

One thing I'm wondering about before I solder in the ICs - the bypass
jack seems designed for a foot switch, but it also looks like it'll
work with an external signal - if the signal is low, the lag is
enabled, if the signal is high, the lag is bypassed. Does it work
like that? There's 10K1 ohms of resistance between +V and the jack -
if I did hook up another module's output to the bypass jack, could it
hurt the other module?

Basically I hacked together a method to use one of the unused CMOS
switches and a comparator to enable the bypass jack to work with no
problem with either a foot switch or an external voltage. Before I
solder the CMOS switch in though, I want to know if I should bend the
pins my mod would need out, or if I shouldn't bother since, for the
reasons stated in the paragraph above, this mod might be unnecessary.

Thanks for any help you can give!
