I bought one a while back, haven't actually installed it but I have wired it up for a little testing...

Can you clarify what your issue is exactly? Do you need a wiring diagram or is there something further?

Any details on the guitar / wiring, pictures might help.

(I really should get out of Tech Support )

The issue I'm having is probably really simple, what I'm having trouble with is what do I have to do with the input and output wires from the distortion board. I have a Delta blues pickup with volume and tone knobs. The wiring diagram tells to wire the input leads of the pick up to the IN and GROUND points. Am I to assume I have to cut some wires and use wire nuts? I would send some pics but I don't see an option to send pics with this conversation, sorry.

In the comment box, you will find ikons above, the image ikon is the 1 you need, also, i've not used the psycho knob, but by the sound of it, you need to decide whether to hook your pup direct to the ps. knob, with volume and tone control later, which means getting rid of your vol and tone pots from the guitar, or to connect the ps knob after your controls , i tend to think i'd connect it after the tone and volume pots and before the jack. It's been discussed before, so i'll add the link, good luck.-----------------http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/cbgwiringelectronics/forum/topi...

short version: the input wires of the psycho knob connect to where you would have put the 1/4 jack, and the output wires go to the new jack.
