Your totally right. I've been thinking of the way amps are done. (But I know I've seen it multiple times... it must be a common error.) Moving forward I will remember that.
Now I have a bunch of pedals to redo. 'oof

I know you've got this sorted, so please don't think of this as an argument. I just wanted to point out that, in addition to the 'not real true bypass' issue, pulldowns on the input jack don't actually pull anything down. When the circuit is in bypass, the pull down resistor is not connected to the input cap, which will still be floating.
