    It’s brand new, just out of the box today. I could buy a new pot for this thing and fix but I think I’ll just return it and grab one the NYC ones they have in stock. I don’t think I should have to go modding and fixing a brand new pedal. Gotta say the soldering job inside looks like it was done by a blind, one armed 4 year old with Parkinson’s.

    I know! I got this thing for $20 on ebay and when I opened it up I was like…crap. I mean it looks like they tried to make traces with solder and what not…its horrible.

    Dude I have had issues with my volume too and it wasn’t the pot. Did you get the muff used or new? Seriously I have had the same issue and one day it worked fine but every other day same issue. Check out my thread and tell me if it is similar?

    Ned, one last question…I had a friend that had a similar problem with his amplifier and he said it was the input jack. The problem with my BMP seems to be revolving around that area…could it be a faulty jack? Just wanted your opinion before I try changing it.

    Now it isn’t working again lol. The only guess to me is a short that is grounding out 2/3s of the pot…who knows? THanks for all the help though.

    No of course not, it sounds like the volume pot is dodgy!
    You can buy exact replacements here: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=159 they are expensive and not very good quality pots anyways but the knobs you have will fit these pots.

    Here is where it gets crazy…I already ordered one from small bear and soldered it in lol.

    So I get home yesterday and am playing the BM and I’m like it’s not loud enough maybe I can just turn it up a little before it cuts out and to my amazement if works…wtf? How does that happen…It’s just sitting there mounted to my pedal board and one day nothing…the next day…just like new. Is this normal for the Russian Muff to have a mind of its own and constantly be messing with you?

    I was doing some reading and some other people claim the volume issue is the same. My Russian BMP is a little older version (yellow) and is this volume thing normal? I bought a new Russian BMP to compare the wiring and it looks right…the volume on the new one works all the way. I’m so lost…

    Thanks Ned. I was thinking that was what wasn’t connected correctly and that was it. I’m back to my original problem though, the volume only works from 9-11 o’clock now (it worked 11-2 when I first got it but the volume sounds the same as it does now even though it’s in a different position on the pot). I have switched the pots and still the same problem, It is like the volume has been suppressed to only working 1/3 of the potentiometer. I assume that the other parts of the switch are being grounded out and thus not working when I rotate it to that point (but I am not sure 100% by any means). Anyone got any ideas?

    Didn’t work. Now the LED works but no sound when it’s on or off. I think I see what the problem is, where you sever the trace by the input jack is it the trace or between the wire/resistor thats on there(tough to tell from the diagram). Also is the old (bottom right) corner of the jack supposed to be wired to anything? It looks as though both paths to the input are grounds and that’s it. I wired it like the diagram so I don’t know. Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Here are some pics…

    Ned, you are a lifesaver! That is just what I needed. I already do have a 3pdt switch and look forward to getting this thing crankin’ tonight. Thanks again.

    Like I stated earlier, I have never played with a Deluxe Memory Man but the Time Machine is a sweet pedal regardless. As for the small stone, granted the EH one’s enclosure is far superior I would dare to say the tones of both are equal. I actually prefer the sound of the Behringer…
