Before that no output.<br />2-Filter decreases the volume sligthly.<br />What could be causing the problem with gain? Also is the second one expected behavior?

And welcome.
You're correct abut the "...Hi. And welcome.<br />You're correct abut the "double link". Both links connect to a single hole/strip.<br /><br />In this case, i used "to circuit" instead of normal "input" label, due to a control that's named "input". So that is basically "the input" - where you take the wire from bypass switch to circuit input. Sometimes avoiding confusion can lead to more confusion :)<br />+mmirosolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400327798106357876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-80629914505058864852017-09-17T19:12:43.359+01:002017-09-17T19:12:43.359+01:00Couple of noob questions here:

I see that it's linking to the strip that's attached to the Ground, so it makes sense, just thought I'd double check.<br /><br />-The wire coming off of the left side labled "To circuit."
