I’ve bought a vintage v1 ‘triangle’ Big muff, 2nd edition 1972. Problem is, the tone control is barely effective, makes only minimal difference from one end of the dial to the other..the overall sound of the tone is far more towards ‘bassy’ than to treble.
Having said that, it is a great sound, but i suspect something is wrong. As it is, i am using it in conjunction with an OCD ,which can give me more treble options.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks

My guess, based on what I’ve seen over the years, is that either the Tone pot is broken or one or more of the pot’s solder pads on the PCB have broken.
