Im trying figure out how to wire in a tone pot in place of the switch. Any ideas. Thanks

The bright cut is just a cap to ground, so I'd probably go with the sort of thing that Mark Hammer did with his Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz mid-scoop mod.  I've had too many other projects to get to the Electra/Trotsky, but I'm assuming a variable input cap would be another possibility.

I wired a Big Muff tone stack in mine and it sounds really good but you also need to use the recovery stage the BM uses cause it sucks alot of volume.
Big Muff, Trotsky Drive, Little Angel, Valvecaster, Whisker Biscuit, Smash Drive, Green Ringer, Fuzz Face, Rangemaster, LPB1, Bazz Fuss/Buzz Box, Radioshack Fuzz, Blue Box, Fuzzrite, Tonepad Wah, EH Pulsar, NPN Tonebender, Torn's Peaker...

I think I might leave it the way it is for now. Thanks for the help. I have the tone cap right where I want it. Sounds really good with my set up.
