Does anyone have one of these monsters?  I think I have aproblem with the tone section.   Either way I put the tone pot switch the tone pot doesn't change the sound at all.
I took out the tone pot and it measures good (10K) Sweeps normally.   Any suggestions or fixes?

Thanks!

I know on a stock big muff the tone pot is 100k or aleast it is on mine. That might be a start. As for the tone bypass, The tone pot should be dead when you turn the switch on. Hence bypassing the tone knob. Hope I was any help to you.

For an opamp Big Muff, the 10K value is consistent with the unit that I own.  This is also reflected in various schematics, for what it's worth...  I'm currently at work and don't have the unit in front of me, but  I could answer more specific questions if necessary once I'm at home...

Have you checked the continuity of the switch with your meter?

The pot doesn't have anything to do with the tone switch or bypassing the tone section.
It's either the switch itself or the wiring to the switch.
