Maybe, but it's only the 2nd pedal of this model I ever saw (and this one is 100% original, the other one wasn't), it has to be one the rarest Ibanez pedal (except for those made by fOXX, but those were never in any catalogs, so no official products).

And I thought you were only bidding on bargains

I do make exceptions and this is an exceptional pedal :p

There's only 1 pedal that cost me more, most of my purchases are under $100...

Aha!

This is the exact same circuit (bar the added wah) in my ELK Wah Fuzz (Same enclosure as the Mica/Ibanez/Guyatone etc). No wonder I was going around in circles thinking "3 transistor" superfuzz. Mine had rather mundane low output almost overdrive tones and very little fuzz. Pots are also mislabeled/backwards. Have been playing with swapping transistors after socketing with some success.

Is matching the FETs critical?

And any particular guide to gains 1st to 3rd transistor. I`ve socketed only 2 at the moment, believe its the input FET and the middle C828.

Many thanks.
