Great stuff...

My 2nd build...and I love it. Fabulous gain and a great bit of grunt. Easy job as well. My first build was an ebay FF kit and I thought that was relatively easy but the Muffer was a breeze. Highly recommended build for a newbie......like me.

I come back here time and time again and it feels that everytime I do I gain a little bit more knowledge.

Many many thanx

My second build

Just a quickie to say a big thanx for this web site.

Just completed the Muffer and it worked first time. I even wired in a stomp switch ('cos I had one laying about.

This was my 2nd build and it was pretty easy to complete, even for a newbie like me.

My next build....the flatline compresser. . . . .

Thanx again

ERROR

C2 ??????????

Ahum...

Fixed! ;)

The blue wire was wired wrong. Thanks for spotting it!

Adding Millenium 1 bypass

Can anyone provide a layout showing the addition of the Millenium bypass 1 plus (DPDT)?
I've tried but it only works with the power jack (sounds awesome) and not the battery. Also, the LED won't turn off when I switch but Bypass works... How does the volume pot connect?
