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.
The circuit shown is a D*A*M Fuzz Sound MKIII
