Hey I didn't want to start a whole new post about the same pedal, since you both seem to be experts. My Metal Muff is having a problem with volume cutting in and out. The distortion and drive effects seem to be working fine but it will bounce between very faint to ridiculously loud in the course of sending bent notes or hard chord strumming through the input. I've tried changing my guitar signal by turning the volume knob up or down but it seems to have no effect on the changes. Is this something to do with the ground or input wires corroding? This is a 2005 model of the pedal. It's components look very similar to the ones you posted. Any help would be appreciated!
