Russian Muff Tone Bypass Mod

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been scouring the internet looking for how to do the tone bypass mod on a Black Russian Muff with no luck. All of the links I have found have dead ends. I can't read a schematic, but if you tell me to cut wire x or replace x capacitor with another cap I can do that. Any help out there? Thankski!

That site does say that you can bypass the tone stack, but does not explicitly say how to bypass it.

Seems rratajski has the ultimate troll avatar right here.

Try the

Internet Archive: Wayback Machine

for web pages long gone.

JonnyAngle - what verrrrrsion of the russian do you have? Old black russian or later black russian? They DO differ!
This will help me/us tell you what value resistor and cap you need to clip.

cracked_machine - asking what version he has isn't trolling. You would know this if you knew anything about muffs...Do note that no one else has even replied to this posting.

Iīve never seen rratajski troll anybody, and heīs always helpful.
If you donīt know the version, you could take a couple of gutshots.

I'll take a look when I get home. The image isn't showing up on the iPhone app.

It's as simple as disconnecting the ground side of 1 resistor and cap, tying them to the center lug of a spdt, and connecting one lug to ground.

Find the .01 uF cap and 22K resistor (red red black) that goes to ground and desolder at the side that goes to ground.
Connect both together like I mention in the post above.
