I couldn't find this on the forum so I thought I would ask. I want to do the buffer bypass mod for the wah so does it go like this???

-no jumper from the x and y eyelets.
-solder the 0Ω resistor below the XYZ eyelets.
I think I have this part correct.

What about the 0Ω resistor below the .1µF cap? does this resistor need to be soldered to the board?

I think I see where Leader is coming from. The instructions for the mod are slightly confusing. From reading it myself, I can't tell if your supposed to include or exclude the Zero ohm resistor. The need for the jumper seems quite clear, however.

Whenever I mod a friends crybaby I replace the zero ohm resistor with a jumper saying it's a "tonal secret"

Yea exactly. I don't know what to do about the 0Ω resistors I mentioned.

I thought you left the zero resistor in and the switch acts as the jumper, switching the buffer in and out.

By turning the buffer volume trim pot a little higher than my normal guitar output. When I flip the switch there is a slight boost in volume.

I get it now. I usually have a good sense of humor but I guess this one flew right past me.
