I am modifying a friends Big Muff Pi, Russian version 8 and the wires are so frail that the LED broke off from the main circuit board. I am trying to find where they connect. Where I have them now the LED just lights up always. Any help would be appreciated.
It shouldn't be too hard. Just look for the подключение светодиода and then just впаять туда светодиод. I guess you could размягчить проволоку водкой or переделывать все это дело. It's up to you. Doesn't sound too tricky to me.
I recently bought a Sovtek v8 6 screw Big Muff fuzz pedal in “as-is” condition off eBay. I paid $62.20 shipped which is normally “too much” for a restoration job, but this w…
If you’re still following along from part 1, we’ve settled on restoring some aspects of the pedal while modifying others as we see fit. The first thing I did when I got the pedal in was…

I do remember selling this and buying the ehx green reissue and a rat2 from sweetwater with the proceeds, then modding both of those. I still have them both and they're amazing. I'd like to get a set of the smaller sovtek knobs for the muff but can't justify spending almost $30 on knobs
This version already has a 3pdt foot switch, it looks stock. I think they used silk for wiring never seen anything this fragile. Lol.
I am going to look back at it again tonight, I should have taken some pics but some stuff came up. It does sound great, just need to get the LED working.
yeah I assume the dpdt switch in the one I posted links to was part of some ham-fisted unsuccessful repair work as I bought it in non-working condition. It doesn't match the original or any sovtek I've had my hands on.
the LED switch in that schematic is incorrect. In bypass the LED goes to effect out and doesn't reach ground to complete the circuit ... also I don't believe they ground the circuit input while in bypass.
I have a black muff like that. I never play the thing anymore because the whole thing seems fragile. Got it new back in the late 90s. Everything but the led still works fine. I don’t think mine has a 3pdt stomp but I’ll take a look when I get a chance.
So the wires are so brittle I am going to have to rewire the foot switch. Some of the footswitch wiring is going to the center lugs of the volume and sustain pots. Is this for ground? These are 100k pots would they be A or B pots?
