Boss MT 2

Post by willow13 »

just a quick question for you pedal experts. I have a metalzone that needs a switch added to it and I need to know which wires to wire to it. I know the purple wire goes to it but can't find any other "missing" solder joints for a second wire. My other boss pedal has 2 wires running to the switch. Any help is much appreciated

Buggery I own one of these,but it is out on indefinite loan. If it's the footswitch, then check earth, one side is earthed, so if not the purple side then the other end, attach it anywhere.

that red wire is one of the ones that goes to the battery.

I was thinking it is a ground wire that is missing

cheers JB, worked a bloody treat. Now just need to rehouse it and i'll be 20 again :rofl:

Actually it is a way better pedal than I remember, I guess it helps as you get older it becomes easier to dial in the tone you want
