Before you go to much trouble trying to hook anything to the machine,
you need to find out if the BOSS control is working or not. or, has
this machine already had the BOSS control chopped out? Are there a
bunch of circuit boards and power supplies in it? Does it have a
control panel with an LED readout?

The ribbon cables make me think that maybe the BOSS control has been
removed or bypassed.
