Has anyone wired a Vox V848 Wah pedal (this is the Clyde McCoy edition that they put out from time to time)?  I phoned Vox(Korg) and they told me that they don't provide information for diy-er's.  I called the authorized service center and they said they aren't familiar with this unit.  Also, they would not provide any technical information for free. 

My main challenge is the 8 pin strip on the PCB (It's a Jim Dunlop PCB with Vox--go figure).  The original wire harness connector is damaged so I will need to remove the pin strip and solder each joint separately.  I don't know the order of the pins (what pin is what? in, out, ground, etc.?).  I also don't know what additional grounds I have to do (offboard).

Main Q's:
1. What wire goes to what pin?
2. What additional ground wiring I have to do (offboard)?

Yes, sir.  That's it...!!  I meant to post a photo earlier.

I should mention that I have a 3PDT(Fulltone) and not the 2PDT that comes stock.  I also upgraded the Pot(Fulltone). 

When I was doing the upgrades, some wires came disconnected from the jacks.  Then I damaged the wire harness connector when I tried to swap out a long wire (apparently you can't swap out on these).  Now I've found that I have to rewire the whole pedal.....
