820 Question

2006-04-28 by xamboldt

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!
