I'm modding a q-tron with a clean blend. it is the big model(not the xo), and the power is +ground. i tried the mini-blender w/ a charge pump using a tc1044. i'm not exactly sure how to wire this thing up. do i disconnect the wires from the dc jack and run them into the charge pump then out to the dc jack?

This is how i wired it, but have had no luck:

That is two separate circuits: a mini blender and a bipolar supply. If you just want the mini blender use this layout:

Why do you want the bipolar supply?

the q-tron is positive ground and the mini-blender is designed for negative ground.
if i just use the MB can i just flip my caps around to make it work? maybe i should just use the buff-n-blend  :-\

The mini blender isn't negative ground and neither of the PCBs show it like that. The schematic is here:
