Thank you for the replies. I chose this forum because some can get so snarky.

I did have to run a jumper instead of trying to use the trace.

Sound is getting through now and the volume and toggle is having an effect, BUT the signal is very weak. The bypass signal is louder.

I'm going to re-check the wiring again. Thanks!
I know what you're saying, we're all about learning in these parts.

The input and output jacks need to be desired. The stereo goes on the input. If you're not going to use a battery, I'd leave the the third solder lug empty.

I missed your post. I'm wondering if the wiring looks weird because it's designed to run a PNP with a negative tip supply, so a standard DC 9v adapter can be used. Anyway, I'm so confused right now I honestly can't tell you what fixed it. Ha ha. If I think of it later I'll post. Thanks!
