MOTM

Why you, I oughtta...

Look bub, when we talked about this design the first time, YOU proposed a
bicolored led and all kinds of stuff. Paul said the kit price would to have
to be $189 to build all that, remember?

I'll take a red led and $149 anytime!

What did your daughter do? Is she complaining about the LED too?

Hey !!  I resemble that remark !!

Well neither did I.  However, it is cool on the 320.  Some other Stooge
just couldn't remember how that last "LED" conversation ended. <snicker>

I know this is supposed to be simple, so I'll try to keep it that way.  If
I understand, the lag is bypassed when the switch contact is made up.  So,
if a guy wanted to have "LAG" only when remote switch is depressed, he
would wire to his switches N.O. contact.  Someone wanting to "tap on" and
"tap off" would need a push-on / push-off switch.  The bypass is only
bypassed when the tip is actually shorted to ground.  Do I have that right?
 And for those guys that want to "clap-on" and "clap-off", like other
stooges I know, they will have to design their own circuits.

Not me.  A foot switch rules.  I be riggin'.  I use that function all the
time in my Kenton.

ken,
it does sound like a solid addition to the line. if paul has covered all the 
bases in terms of the units functionality and done so with  motm precision, 
then it should be a powerful addition to any system.
best,
