| Jan 30, 2018 at 23:56 | comment | added | John Birckhead | I would put the pot at mid-range, then use your test lead to short out the wiper to each side of the pot. If you have the right one, one side should give you full volume and the other should be mute. | |

| Jan 30, 2018 at 23:40 | comment | added | Paul Cezanne | see connections photos in the posting, just added them. | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 23:34 | comment | added | John Birckhead | DO you have guitar ground tied to the plus side of the battery? | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 23:07 | comment | added | Paul Cezanne | It looks like that is the same as Point B in my photos, right? The + side of C10 is connected to the center tap of the volume pot. Right? Sadly, not working... | |
