peter	Re: tiny triple bypass question ok, so here's part two of my little mistery. The input jack had it's sleeve connected directly to the sleeve of the output jack (which would otherwise be connected through the box I guess) and another wire going from the input sleeve to ground (on the board). I than connected the triple bypass +9v to the input sleeve and everything worked as it should, only when I turn up my amp now, I get noise, because the ground is disconnected. And when I connect it again, either through reconnecting the wires or through the box, I'm back to square one. I'm sure this is a stupid mistake I made. Even a hint in the right direction would be great. Peter.
