    I have an IC Muff that has a very similar issue. When I switch the muff on, even with the muff volume dimed, there doesn’t seem to be much / any volume boost over when the effect is in the chain and switched off. The difference is, even when the muff is switched off, it is still boosting the signal substantially over what volume would be if the guitar were plugged directly into the amp. I’d like to know how to fix that issue (without true bypassing).

    I have three of those IC muffs — a 3003, 3003B, and 1322 — as well as a Little Big Muff w/ 1322 board, and they all go well above unity. They also don’t affectthe signal (much) when off. Yours definitely has a problem. Have you cleaned the slider switch?

    Hi devnulljp – I haven’t cleaned the slider. I can give that a try, although mine is a tone bypass slider.

    I think I did a bad job of explaining my issue. When I plug directly into an amp, volume is at lets just say, at 3. When I put the muff into the chain, even with it not switched on by the foot switch, volume jumps to 5 or 6. Then when I switch on the muff, volume tends to stick at around the same 5 or 6 when knobs are maxed. I think most people have the issue of volume being 3 straight to amp, and 3 with muff in chain on or off.
