Just Trying to hook up my very first pedal, a Russian Green Big Muff clone.

This is the first time iv used a 3pdt, so am confusing my self quite alot and thought i would stop soldering and ask some questions!

1: With the 9v, GND pads on the PCB, do i just attach them to the battery clip leads?
2: What do i do with the Stereos ground, and other lugs (as iv only got the tip lug hooked up to the switch)
3:......mmm hows it looking apart from that, and the lack of pots?

Run a search for wiring diagrams, several can also be found at GGG or Beavis Audio

Iv got the one from GGG, but Im not using a 9v DC jack, just a battery (also Im not using there PCB That has the resister for the LED built in.)

  Use the DMM to verify cross references made from the schematic.

Nice soldering job. Looks like it should work the way you have it. Hook the + voltage to the board and, what I would do, is take the sleeve of the input jack, attach it to the GND on the board, then run the sleeve of the input to the sleeve of the output, which I think you have connected to the - battery wire right? I'd also connect the battery to the ring of the input, so when you unplug the input cable, you stop the battery from being drained.

For the one from GGG, just eliminate the DC jack, hook up the in and out to your boards in and outs, and place a resistor before the LED, about 4.7k should ork for most LEDs
