Hey Man.
I just finished building it last week. I had the same problem. Didn't try to bridge anything though. I found out that you need to wire "FWSTCH GND" to both grounds (i.e. one jack input and one to the footswitch). That worked form me.
Although I was a bit disappointed with the pedal. I thought you could have the chorus effect without the delay effect. But if you turn the delay way down, it just sounds like a really short delay with almost no modulation. If you get yours running, tell me if you experience the same problem. I think the orginal pedal doesnt have this issue.
