I've built several pedals from kits, and have started building the Jack Orman buffered mini-booster on the PCB I bought from his through AMZ.  This instructions it comes with says that you can find wiring info on muzique.com but I have been all over that page and found nothing?  Perhaps I'm missing it, but all I can find is an article on true bypass wiring, which is not what i want.

Does anyone know of a site or pdf with the proper wiring to connect the pcb to the pot/switch/jacks?  Or of a pedal that would be wired the same? 

Thanks!

(I tried searching for any wiring info on here for the mini booster and couldn't find anything on the first 7 or 8 pages of results, so I figured I'd just ask!)

check out general guitar gadgets page on wiring (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=27.  I don't believe there is anything unique to the mini-booster.

When you order any AMZ pcb, you are sent an email with a link to a support page with all kinds of useful info and mods.  The connection diagram for the mini-booster is in the section to the right of the first pcb picture on that page.

If you have lost your link to the support site, send me an email and I will provide it to you again.

thanks jack, somehow i had missed that link despite reading the whole page thoroughly!

well, i was building the buffered mini-booster, and wired it how this GGG page shows:

_____________________________________________
Adding an LED to the non-true bypass switching requires a DPDT switch. Again, the input or output can be left in the signal path, depending on how you wire it up.
Non True Bypass with LED, circuit input unbypassed http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/switch_lo_dpdt_led_in.gif

I had built the pedal to have a high input impedance hoping it would act as a sparkly sounding buffer, however, the pedal is actually very dark when bypassed.  I believe I raised R1 to 10M to try to accomplish this.  did I need to raise the value of R2 as well?  I'll have to double check the R1 value later, but I'm 95% certain.

Any help would be appreciated!
