ds-1 problems (and mod for those interested)

[hartke20g]

k so i recently found a good ds-1 mod and wanted to do it to mine (did it to my guitarists' for a day), but mine won't work anymore. http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=15602 <<<mod
i have a feeling it has to do with my input/output since i recently had my ds-1 in my strat, but i'm not sure since i've tried every combination of wires to jacks.
my guitarists' ds-1 wiring goes like this:
yellow- to small (stereo) prong in input jack
black (9v)- same as yellow
grey- ground on input jack
white- normal sized jack on output
brown- normal sized jack on input

the LED, which i've been using to check to see if the pedal works when a cable's plugged in works, as i checked it directly to the 9v (with the resistor of course), so i know the LED's not burnt out; i also have the ds-1 plugged in to my amp and bass and i get nothing but hum and hiss, not even a clean signal.
also, i recently took out the DC jack to try to put it in my big muff, but decided to just buy a new one and put the DC jack back in the ds-1, but i had the same hum/hiss effect even before i put it in.
what could possibly be wrong?

i'll gladly take pics for those who need to see what's going on.

I'm not going to be able to help but I want to watch this thread because I am considering modding mine.

well if you want to do the Fuzz Factory 'stab' mod, just go the Muse forum link in the 1st post. it also gives relatively the same mod for a marshall guv'nor. it's actually very simple (if your ds-1 even works). :mad: i swear every pedal i have has like some sort of 'anti-mod' system or something, i can never get them to work.

[hartke20g]

the following description is what i did after i saw my friend's ds-1 (not exactly how it is now)
alright, so what i did is connect the grey wire (with blue tip) to the ground on the input jack, the brown to the main input jack plate, the 9V black and yellow to the stereo plate on the input jack, and the white wire to the main output plate. i just don't see why it didn't and won't work, even with all the other possible combinations.

edit: here's a better pic of the wiring.
