VChamp tonestack bypass

Hello ,
Could some one help please . I have a Vchamp clone kit and want to bypass the tonestack , anyone got a schamatic i could use ?
Out of curiosity I'll try a choke in it at some point too .
I'm 46 with 2 children and one arriving anytime now , so i will be taking particular notice of all the good safety advice , of which i've had a lot hehe I'm not impatient by nature and being an ex (thankfully for me) banking software programmmer i can work methodically.
I'm a luthier now , but a novice finger burner (studying hard though can follow a schematic reasonably well now ) but my little brother is an electronic engineer graduate , he'll keep an eye on me .
Just a liitle extra note . I haven't had such a mix fun , curiosity , determination and excitment since i built my first guitar at 16 . I bet this isn't curable is it ? Mark

just lift the ground from the tone stack. The stack is grounded through the 10K resistor on the back of the bass pot. Desolder the end that is grounded to the pot body and you have bypassed the tone stack, or run it to a switch and then to ground. You can then switch the tone stack in and out. I did this to my Princeton Reverb and my PRII, it makes a very useable 'boost'. I made mine switchable with a footswitch.

Thanks jhundt for posting i appreciate the help .
I realised after i posted the thread , that i should look at a 5E1 champ to get reassure myself , feel a bit foolish really .I thought I'd use it via a push pull volume pot but a footswitch is a much better idea for gigging , thanks.
By the way lived in Nyjmegen a good few years ago , great location for tasting beers , there and over the border in Germany !

spark right - where do you live now? We are having a Holland Telecaster Jam session soon (April 11 in Rotterdam). Why don't you come and have some fun?

Jhundt ,
A nice offer thanks and i would have loved to take you up on it , i really could do with a blast . Building your own house and having babies is erm , time consuming , we're awaiting another baby anytime before the 23 March .
Is that the title of the festival "Holland Telecaster Jam session" ? Maybe next year , i could do with some good beer , i live in France now .
