Wow, must be an old Re-issue, still using the FET Switching.

Anywayyy, your photo isn't all that clear but I did a bit of digging for you and found these of the same model -

Other than that i'll have to do a little bit of tracing to work it out but try that for now.

NICE. Thanks dude! All I could find were these two images but they were like 25 x 25 pixels :facepalm: I whip out the iron again after work and we'll see how this goes

Yeah, I just found one on ebay to see if I could mod it at all and it came in an old ehx wooden box and had a weird dc jack and everything. pretty cool!

Yeah all the big box reissues came with the weird DC jack (pain ain't they) but you see that big square cut in the PCB? Later on that got used for 3PDT true bypass switching so yours was one of the earlier ones probably early00s, whenever they started reproduction of them. Nice score though! I've always wanted one of the wooden boxes :( dunno why, seems cool.

Yeah, those pictures were tiny, just had to go to the original page as they were reduced attachments in google images :thumb:

If you can do a bit of reading and tracing I can e-mail you the factory schematic for this model, better than guess work from photos.

Thanks! It sounds really nice on its own. I'm attempting to get vibrato out of it as well.
and yeah, I think I found a schematic or two last night but im pretty new to DIY stuff and it's like reading cave drawings or something :?: :?: :?: lol

Ahhh, so that's what you're cracking it open for, they make nice vibratos!

I don't think the current Factory version is online any more (the only difference really is the power filtering cap and a slight value change or two so not thattt important) it's New Sensor property so it can't be posted publicly without redraw which I don't think anyone ever did. But if you can't read it, that's a little less help but with some guidance...

If you want direction make good shots of both sides of the board and I (or someone else) around here will help you out i'm sure.
