I've been doing a fair amount of repairs for the local musicians where I live, and from time to time, I pick up random projects in exchange for work. Last month, my one friend threw a wonky Bud Box Phase 90 my way in exchange for some repair work. It's beat up a bit, and he stated that he tried to true bypass it, and gave up. I've found countless pictures, but none of the Bud Box era 90s share the same wiring. The wires on mine are coming from completely different locations than what I've seen on the internet. Any help would be appreciated. I'm at a loss. How should I wire this to the switch?

This is how I received the pedal.

And here is the back of the board. Has a lot of the deteriorated foam residue.

...or just fallow it up what I attached (not my work, cant remember who's really)

It's one of the coolest Phase90 I've seen component-wise, lovely looking, makes me hard-on. Piher CF resistors looks lush in it!

Clean it up nicely!

I also can trade my kidney for it if you need one (or two)
