Getting the Boss DS-2 to work with relay based true bypass

Hello!

Because I am an incredibly poor judge of what the best use of my time is, I decided to take a TH Custom NOPE relay bypass board and hook it up to the internals of my Boss DS-2 (that the previous owner apparently modded to make sound worse, but that's a different story) so that the stock switch is used in order to toggle the relay. I've figured out where every wire should go (the schematic's pretty understandable in that regards) but my next step is to ensure that when the DS-2 receives power, it defaults to the on state. I've looked at other various resources for 'defeating' the stock boss bypass method, but they all cover other things like the DS-1 and to me it looks like the DS-2 is a much more complicated beast in terms of switching, or at least significantly different enough to confuse a relative newbie such as myself.

Would anyone know what the best way to 'defeat' the switching system of this pedal is? Thanks in advance for any help!
