harrison i've been looking at alot of demos of the russian muff and everybody seems to be complaining about the switched inputs.so i thought i'd give a heads up to anyone looking to buy one that it is a great pedal and this little problem can easily be fixed. simply unscrew the input and output jacks and the chassis screws and flip the PCB over to change the location of the jacks, and there you've got it!
jacksonjackass Yup, that's what I'll be doing. But doesn't flipping the PCB mean the pots are upside-down?I'll just be extending the wiring and installing new input jacks when I get mine

I'll just be extending the wiring and installing new input jacks when I get mineno the pots have long enough wires that it dosent effect anything like that, i did the mod in about 5 minutes a few screws and a flip was all it took
jacksonjackass Ahh, just thought the pots may be directly soldered to the board which is always a bugger.Anyway, thanks for the heads up 😉
