wiring up big muff without battery snap

[jlullo]

hey guys... i'm wiring up my big muff triangle (tonepad) to tonepad's 3pdt wiring diagram... i wired it up and omitted the battery snap, and the effect is working but it is pretty quiet, there is a lot of hum, and when i bypass it, i'm not getting any sound...

do i need to ground something else on the input jack since the black battery lead is not going to the ring?  also, i'm using those 3-terminal radio shack mono jacks for the output... do i need to connect those two lugs that are going to the shield together?

nevermind.. i switched lugs... works AWESOME!
