    A friend gave me his DMM and a few of the wires have come disconnected both from the jacks or the pc board. Can anyone post photos of their DMM guts so I can know where to resolder the wires?
    Also, I’m looking to true-bypass the pedal in the process, bypassing the power switch as well in the process. I found someone online who had done this, but can’t find the page anymore.

    Please help, if possible.

    Thanks,

    Is this a reissue or vintage unit? Please post a pic of your circuit board.

    my apologies, but i was thinking of another EH pedal that had disconnected wires.
    still, i would like to bypass the power switch using the remaining lugs on the 3pdt switch.
    plus the pedal doesn’t work as is.

    ps. i’ll make another posting about the actual pedal with disconnected wires.

    If you want to bypass the power switch, take the wires (there’s 2, I think) on the switch and solder them together. Protect the solder joint w/ heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.

    Hi all!

    In the same range: I want to bypass the footswitch of my MMD (old big chassis) but it has three wires connected: one to the input, one to the wet output and one dissappearing under the board.

    I would guess I have to solder the two from the input/output together, but where do I connect the third one?

    I have an other one of about the same era, but probably a bit less old. The footswitch might have been replaced once and it has only two wires coming from it…

    Yes I am indeed pretty new to soldering my own stuff, so thanks for any info! ;-)

    I believe you’ll need to connect the wet output to the wire disappearing under the board. Usually there’s 2 wires from the input: one goes to the circuit board forcing effect in and the other goes to the footswitch.

    If the other only has 2 wires to the switch, it may have a bypass relay controlled by the footswitch.
