Hey. I'm working on the Halo PCB of Big Muff by Aion and in the process of trying to make it supermodded, I broke off several terminals in my reworks, one of which is the ground... any advice how I recreate all the ground connections? x.x

By terminals do you mean the pads on the actual PCB or the lugs on one of the pots or Jack sockets?   

Pictures/more info would help.

The actual pads, normally mounted on the PCB. I need to get a heatgun rework tool x.x

That'll connect every component that needs grounding?? I did that for several that are basically one connection but the ground as I understand is every component that needs it has a trace in the PCB to the single ground solderpad. So by that method wouldn't I need to connect my ground wire from the power to every single grounded component?

You could run one wire to the pad (or whats left of it/ nearest solder trace) and then attach the multiple ground wires to that wire, but you shouldn't have to.    Ground the board to the in or out jack and use that in or out jack as the common ground point.
