OFF-BOARD WIRING: Tone Bender MKIII

Off-board wiring for any Tone Bender MKIII or MKIV - this is just how I do it; it's not exactly vintage correct.  

The cable with a grey offshoot is shielded.  Note where shields are not connected. I've grounded the enclosure via a pot; this is only sometimes necessary or recommended depending on the style of jack used (insulated plastic vs open metal).  

It might also be advisable to create a dedicated ground connection to the enclosure instead of using a pot. It's the better way to go in most cases. I've only done it because I didn't want to drill another hole in the vintage-style tone bender enclosures I've been using lately. 

One thing that I did recently was to use uninsulated wire to run through as many ground points as possible before soldering.  I think it looks neater and is easier than daisy-chaining individual cables.

side note:  I stopped using this size cable, as it was too heavy to work with.

Same again but with the jacks reversed, and the wiring is not insulated, which is mostly how I'm wiring them up these days.
