I have an Ibanez DML20 that seems to work properly, but kind of clips when hit with humbuckers. There are also a couple jumper wires from different points of a chip, which is obviously a mod of some kind. Not sure what this is doing either.

Wow, I have the same pedal that also has those wires in the back. The wires on mine are green though.......... my unit has a huge NOISE issue as you constantly hear the LFO going through the audio (even in unmodulatoed settings). Really annoying.

I was really wondering if someone had just modded mine........ guess it was factory standard

Btw, for why I found this thread, I was searching for some more gutshots of a DML20 as my unit has a HUGE 7905 regulator on the board that regulates +9V into +4.5V. You also have a 7905?? To my knowledge a 7905 will regulate a negative voltage....... yet it 'works'??? (well, not quite as it only gives 4.5V instead of 5V)
