Sorry! another noob question!
I made the tone control from beavis audio: http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/Pots/  For my JH F1 (fuzz face)! but i'm confused as to where you hook it up!!!
Do the out/in and ground connect to the board or the jack sockets?

I know its probably really obvious! but i dont want to take a soldering iron to my fuzz unless i'm sure i know where to put it!

Cheers.

  They didn't speak of impedances or passive losses.
  The only tone control I've had that was useful to use on the the FF output achieved passive loss, on the HF's only, a simple cap/pot to ground...right across the signal and Gnd. lug of the volume pot.
  The tone control circuit shown will probably load the FF output.
  If you were to connect it anyway...
  The Grounds would tie to ground, the tone control 'spliced' before the volume pot.
  It could be put right where the output capacitor is, replacing it.
  Q2 Collector > TC input > volume pot.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Not a good idea then?
I assume if it would benefit from a tone control, it would already have one! Gonna leave that alone then, will save it for another project.

You could always build a tonemender from ROG and that thing is what I consider the ultimate tonestack.

ff out to tone control in, tone control out to switch.
i think that is what he was asking.
