Replace the resistors with jumpers. You can just solder them to the two leads of the resistors without even having to remove them.

Yeah, you can use leads from old resistors, a bit of wire, whatever.

Ummmm....after doing the emitter mod my tone bypass seems a little different. When you switch it on for the flat mids section you have more mids but the tone pot is active now. Before it did not make a change. I like the sound but wish to understand what happened. hahahah. it nails the Siamese Dream sound.
