Plenty of room for a full size pot!

The sound does become less saturated with the level lower than about 70%. And I don't think it's just the amp's preamp not being overdriven. :idk: Fellas?

I'm not huge on the sound of my revelation unless the output volume is past 75%.
It cannot be tamed!

Sooooooooooooooooo is it worth doing this or not? Seems kind of half and half. If I do it, I'm totally going to rehouse the pedal and put that pot on the outside. What's the point otherwise?

No point, the magic is blasting yr pre amp. You can really only pull it back a little without killing the magix

THe board is different enough, I don't know where to put the trimpot.

no schematics on the internet that I can find. black arts has no info on the website about what these pedals do just some marketing crap about how it will piss off your mother. what a useless website. I could maybe trace it from photos but I need to see the other side of the pcb. a better picture of the front would help also if you can square it up from the top down. you could also just send it to me but I'm not cheap.

... or you could probably just ask BAT Mark. Pretty sure he'd just tell you the answer.

I am trying to build a clone of the oath pedal as it isn't available anymore so could anyone please help me out? A picture of the other side of the board would be great to see the connections etc. Has anyone else tried to make a schematic of the pedal or make a custom one?
