Hi everyone,

 

I posted this link inside the thread where the gentleman was asking which type of relay to use.  I created this thread so that it might be easier to find if someone is looking for this information.  I would be happy to help if you have any questions about this setup.

Heads up.  It appears I have the capacitor reversed in the schematic.

Also, the connection that goes from the +center rail of the control block to the relay is not needed.  Just the bypass swx wired up is all that is needed to defeat the circuit.
