    Thank you all for your help. I did an order with Pedal Parts Plus and found it along with a few other things I couldn’t live without.

    Bought online…..

    I wouldn’t think this should be a hard fix, but I am just a phone man.
    Any other advice you could offer?

    It is definately a ground hum and when in bypass it does not hum.

    Well, this is one of the new NYC made ones. There are few wires and the jacks are mostly plastic.
    First time I have run into these and I must say I am not a fan. The only wires in here are the ones off the battery and the ribbon from the 3pdt to the circuit board. Is a ground wire missing?

    Well I think my pots are wired correctly. Anyone do repair for those over their head?

    I did the true bypass conversion on my black russian bigmuff with smaller switch. I am 99% sure it is all done correctly thanks to some coaching from Liberty and some others. It still does not function. I have not worked on this type of electronics before but I am an 11yr cable maint tech for the telco. I can read a meter, am familiar with working DC voltage and troubleshooting. What is my next logical step in troubleshooting this puppy?

    Currently it lights up and has sound when bypassed, dead with the light on.

    The instructions are excellent. I had a broken pedal and I attempted a fix with the mod. It didn’t fix my problem. I am simply back at square one.

    When I started this project I had a dead big muff and it was suggested here that it was likely the switch. Mod is 100% now and I still have no sound unless it is bypassed. I have another issue somewhere. Now I have hours invested and no payoff, still just broken.

    I bought a Russian Muff in a pawn shop and got home and the volume only worked from like 8 to 11 o’clock so it wouldn’t get loud enough. Tried every true bypass/wiring mod I could and never could get it working right. So you know what I did? I bought a new Russian Muff then wired my old one just like the new one and that fixed it! Now I have two Russian Muffs and the new one I added the Green mod and Tone switch mod and it smokes. It seems like a lot of diagrams on the net don’t work! It doesn’t mean you can’t fix it though. If I get time I’ll try to post the guts and connections on one of mine to show you!

    Thank you sir.

    To S2 on the PCB.

    Ah there were originally 2 leads coming off that position on the pot.
    I get a clean signal but once I punch the switch I get a light but no sound.

    Where do I connect the lead coming off the center position of the sustain pot?

    I can’t figure out where to terminate the vol2 out from the 3pdt. I think the rest is pretty well done.

    I also notice I do not have anything tied to the vol 2 post on the switch. What do I connect that to?

    Well, I wired it up and the led lights up but no sound. I still am not 100% sure where to cut the trace. Can anyone point it out to me?
