<div class="bbWrapper">No idea. Are they labeled on the other side of the board? Otherwise I suggest emailing Ernie Ball customer support. (See the link in my signature.)</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Well, i just wanted to get the strings straight and pull out the circuit unit without thinking it would unwire ...<br /> I just talk to EB help, and they said just send it over for 30$ to get this setup ... I think i will go to that route.. <br /> <br /> EB doesn&#039;t have diagram for wiring..so~</div>

Replacing and/or moving the string doesn&#039;t require doing anything to the electronics. Those are also wired through the board. Sounds like there is a part of this story you are leaving out.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">OK, this had me baffled. But a little research would lead me to decipher this as the following:<br /> <br /> 1) Its an Ernie Ball VPJR Tuner pedal.<br /> 2) You were attempting to change the pedal string that controls the volume pot.<br /> 3) In that process the exposed wires were yanked off the tuner circuit board.<br /> <br /> Watching this video I see the process and the wiring, perhaps it&#039;s enough to get you pointed and corrected with minimal trial and error.<br /> <br /> <div class="bbMediaWrapper" data-media-site-id="youtube" data-media-key="Hok453-emBw"> <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hok453-emBw?wmode=opaque" loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe> </div> </div><br /> <a href="https://forums.ernieball.com/attachments/2024-08-09_100454-jpg.44136/" target="_blank"><img src="https://forums.ernieball.com/data/attachments/18/18629-38238756dae4b56eae88e2e6a194622d.jpg?hash=OCOHVtrktW" srcset="" class="bbImage " style="" alt="2024-08-09_100454.jpg" title="2024-08-09_100454.jpg" width="150" height="151" loading="lazy" /></a></div>
