I'm pretty sure all it needs are new jacks. It's perfect aside from that. Unfortunatley while that may be simple for some it's something that's beyond my current abilities.

I can replace it all if neccessary (don't think it's going to be though) but EHX use the standard 3PDT switches everyone uses usually there's nothing wrong with board mounted jacks but I can replace them with the metal ones if wanted, I think the issue is the cost to roseweave at the end anyway.
There's no reason to replace the board though and the components used are of decent quality in EHX pedals.
And the cost of shipping it back and forth once is going to be alot less than building an entirely new pedal from something that is fundamentally still good but just has an issue with it as any pedal could.

Well a Russian Big Muff for €50-55 is still pretty okay. I probably would have picked it up if it was 50.
