Thanks, guys. I got it completed and it does work with voltages,
although it actually doesn't specify that in the docs as far as I
could tell. The only time it ever mentions using a voltage with
regards to the bypass jack is to say that there's a diode in the
circuit to protect it in case one connects a negative voltage. The
overly cautious among us might read that as an implication that
you're not actually supposed to hook voltages up to it. Anyway - it
works!

One small possible non-issue - when I hook the bypass jack up to a CV
source that is only positive-going (800 EG, for example), the lag is
bypassed when the voltage goes below a certain threshold, but the
Bypass LED does not light up. The only time the Bypass LED lights up
is when the voltage goes negative (or if I touch the tip of the patch
cord to ground). The functionality is fine in this case, but the LED
doesn't necessarily show the status of the bypass - is this normal?
