Hey Folks -  first new post, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Go easy on me, please. Anyway, I picked up a Fender Blender RI that had been modded to correct volume drop by Analogman (his sticker is on the inside). From what I can see, he only jumped one resistor (R34) But from other posts I've read (see quote below), R35 should be removed and the tone boost switch wiring should be reversed (not sure what wires - some help here would be appreciated!) This is all a bit baffling to me - any advantage to leaving it as Analog Mike did, or should I try to restore it to original specs? Why Fender made the changes they did baffles me. Any thoughts?

To get rid of the annoying volume drop, you need to wire the Tone Boost switch to the original spec (you only need to swap 2 wires):



I replaced R34 with a jumper, I removed R35, and I changed the Tone Boost switch wiring, and now it works just fine :)
