Hi guys. Looking to transfer a Sustainiac system from one guitar to another, but as an exact schematic (for my plans) doesn't exist, I kinda have to wing the install.  I'm too electronically green to have blind confidence modding a guitar circuit with a PCB attached, so i'm hoping I can pass this by your eyes so you can give me the thumbs up... or thumbs down.  I'd try resolving this by communicating with Mr Sustainiac himself (Alan Hoover), but he's gone on holidays for a week or two and thus uncontactable.


My plans aren't complicated - I just want to put a volume pot into the most basic circuit.  I've made mods based what I see in other Sustainiac circuits... I think I have it right... but a confirm would be great  :)

Here's the supplied schematic closest to my install plans:

Here's my modded schematic with master volume control:

And here's a few reference PDFs from the Sustainiac site:

And here's an explanatory installation manual PDF (if needed):

Any help in getting this right would be much appreicated  :)
