Hi all, I'm going to try to build some Millennium 2s for some pedals but I'm lost as to what values to use per the bottom diagram on http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/millenium/millen.htm

Specifically what values to use for capacitor and resistor for "internal DC resistance to ground".

Anyone have advice?

Also looking for advice on which P-Channel JFET has worked well for +-ground pedals for people..

Thanks in advance!

Welcome.  The "internal resistance to ground" isn't part of the M2: it's part of your circuit, whatever that is.  You typically find a capacitor before the output jack to avoid any DC, and there will typically be a resistance to ground - often a volume pot.

R.G. has other schemes that work for positive ground circuits using CMOS logic, if I recall correctly.  Have a search at Geofex.

Thanks a lot bluebunny; I see that arrangement on the circuits I've built so I get it now.

Any thoughts on the choice of transistor for positive ground, or am I overthinking it?

I've never seen a P-channel JFET.  But I've never had cause to search...
