From what I know about Schumann, that was exactly what it was.

The true science is if you can talk the mom and the daughter into a 3 way

That doesn't matter as long as they work. That's the science.

Hmm, suddenly I crave spaghetti.
Can wait to see what you guys do with this circuit, at the very least I'm hoping for a 9v mod. ;D

I'm sure a charge pump could be implemented.

Jesus. Did those boards shoot out like a snake in a can when you pulled the back plate off?

No... came out OK. Going back in... different story. Very different story.
Thanks for the info on the knobs 5KVNQW0RK5, very informative.
Anybody find a Lion X yet? C'mon folks.... only one left.

That reason was the least of it but it ended up being an inherent reverse engineering deterrent. Had more to do with a real haphazard prototyping process that left John working with whatever enclosures he had been furnished with once production began, being extremely pressed for time, and health problems.

You won't. Those silver trimmed knobs used for the lion,lion-x, f-loop, and two face were bought in bulk from a components warehouse in person around brooklyn and he couldn't remember where he bought them from to order more. When he eventually ran dry on his stock, he started using davies 1150 skirted knobs for the lion-x (which was the only pedal he was building by that time aside from the PLL's). He told me that those silver trimmed knbos were made by davies, but when I got in touch with them a few years ago to get more info, they said they had never made that particular knob. I then fired off emails to every other knob manufacturer and got no leads so I gave up. I do have some info on what he used for those pointed scalloped top knobs on the drive and clean knobs, though its locked away in a hotmail account I haven't touched in 6 years. I want to say those were from davies.
I see. I don't want to speculate about his health problems, since there's been a lot of idle talk on the internet and I don't know anyone who knows definitively, but thanks for the heads up.
Dude made some awesome pedals, it's a shame it ended up sort of swallowing him up.
