Need Some Help with an Odd EHX Bass Micro Synth Mod...

you know, I was reading your profile, and I think we might be long lost twins. both play bass, both are into modding and building effects, both 19, we joined this forum within a month of each other, both love RHCP. Are you adopted?
haha
Spooky....
I'm trying to repair a microsynth that got disassembled. I cannot figure out how one of the footswitch wires is connected to the board. its the one coming from The top lug of the dpdt footswitch- closest to the dc jack when looking down into the enclosure. On mine its brown.
I cannot figure out which solder pad it goes to as all the pictures Ive found only show the top board. If someone could just describe to me which pad this is in relation to another wire like i believe it is connected near the black led wire... I'd be infinitely grateful!

hi claytushaywood,
in researching the mod for true bypass, i read your problem and here is your answer...... maybe it will help others too... because i unscrewed the top circuit board to find your answer. i am attaching a photo here as well. your brown wire on the top right of the mini panel (mine is green) goes a short distance to a large drip of solder on the circuit board. Your green wire (mine is brown) goes all the way across the circuit board to a large drip of solder.

For those who are attempting any wiring repairs, here is a short video of the stock wiring for the Bass Micro Synthesizer i bought used in about 2010. As far as i know this is the stock wiring. I am about to attempt to wire it for true bypass based on the posts I have read above and in other posts. The sole purpose is to eliminate the volume drop when the footswitch is activated. Any info on this mod you can provide would be appreciated since I am going off previous posts and I am an amateur. It appears the photos provided by “itzs” and the drawing by another provide the best info.
