I'm trying to fix a Skinpimp Faceplant Fuzz Face clone I have. I had to change out a pot because it was intermittent unless I put some pressure on it. My question specifically is where does the negative wire from the battery go? I'm using this schematic but getting nowhere:



Here is a stock pic of the pedal:



I think it goes under the board somewhere but I can't find any pics that tell me where. I can get a normal bypassed signal through the pedal but when I click it on nothing. I can touch the loose wire to various places and sometimes get a week, very week, signal through. Can anyone help?!

This is a PNP fuzz which means positive ground.  So the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the red wire in the diagram "-9V" at the junction of the 33K and 470R resistors.

Excellent! That got things moving in the right direction.
