I'm having Muff Problems.

Hello. I've got a black sovtek big muff that I lent to a friend, didn't see for five years, received back broken, and have been keeping in a cupboard since then. (I'll never forgive him). I got it out today and re-soldered the only obviously loose connection I could find. (I don't know anything about electronics but I can just about solder things). Now when I run it into an amp it's really really really quiet. There's a signal coming out of it but it's inaudible unless I turn the amp up much more than I'd normally need to and boost the signal from the muff (using the master volume on a boss ME50).

So - can anyone tell me what's most likely to be causing it? And is it something that I can fix myself with a soldering iron and naive enthusiasm?

Probably a short somewhere. Check to make sure no connections are crossing anywhere.

ta, I'll get it open again in a bit and have a poke around.

The in/out are reversed from other Muff versions. Make sure of that. Does it bypass clean signal?
