That should make for an "easy trace" !

I'd definitely be into seeing the schematic if you get time ...

How does it sound ?

Thanks !

The circuit could be anything. Looks like a FET-boost with a BJT stage for voltage gain or BJT-buffer, maybe a MU-amp or a darlington stage.

Many apologies for not getting this done yet, I've been so stupidly busy with things that I havent got anywhere near pedals really for a while. Dont worry its on its way along with some other oldies :)
