Jesus... I kind of cringed a little bit at that wiring :(

Is the black wire on the stomp switch (short one) soldered completely to the top most middle lug all the way? In the picture its a little hard to tell.

That's got to be some of the worst wiring I've ever seen. No wonder it doesn't work. Jeez.

So after taking it apart and putting it back together it started working. No idea why... It does though. And it sounds reaaaaaaaal good.

I've had that happen to me before too, if my only my fab tone had been that way.... And yup as shady as the wiring is they do sound DAMN good IMO. Ridiculous amounts of low end with a vintage vibe. Glad it worked out for you!!!

He's not making them and you wouldn't want to order one anyway (you'll probably never get it) Also all of his cabs are just clones of old Sunn or Acoustic cabs that you could find for way less.

So I opened up my Monolith BMP to take some pics for an interested party. The grounding scheme is similar but a little bit better in quality so I thought I'd post a pic.
