Don't post in this forum asking is there is a schematic or layout or info on XXX pedal.
There is a subforum setup for requests already. It is located here:
REQUESTS FORUM
Any requests posted here will be moved to proper sub forum, and I'll also make nasty remarks about your mother. :mrgreen:
also, if you have a problem with your build, post it in the WORKBENCH. these threads are for circuit analysis only. by all means, if you discover something we should...
Morecowbell, thanks for those great links you posted, but if they are all avaible from one location, it's better to just post that one link. If people are interested in discussion about this or that box, that can become a separate thread.
They are all in the $59-159 price range! Anybody has more info on this brand, we're still waiting for the english version of the website..
Anybody have a schematic for the Digitech PDS 8000? I have one that produces no effect and the infinite loop is locked on. I will at times get a digital squeal when the effect is engaged (and the infinite loop is too obviously) until I go back to bypass.
So I am growing to love this community on here and want to contribute somehow, even though i am a noob. I really am impressed with this Harwire CM-2 overdrive. IMO they knocked it out of the park with this one. It ahs kicked my Zendrive and OCD clones right off the board at the moment! I rock it as a medium/high gain OD, in the modified position, gain at aroun 2:30 and bass up around the same. I really dig the low knob. Some cool looking IC's inside too. Looks like 4 of em?
The thing I really don't like with Wah Wah pedals is the on/off switch under the treadle, the way you can't avoid contact with it when you are working the treadle. I remember seeing a Wah Wah pedal with a slightly different design where the switch is under the treadle but there is a hole immediately above it in the treadle so you can work it without touching the top of the switch but still press the switch when you want to.
Can anyone remember what make the Wah Wah pedal is please?
Here's another weird pedal I never took the time to trace.
Sorry for the middle section of the schematics, it's very messy.
There's no values for the non-polarized caps, but I don't think they're that critical. I'll add them when I have the time to desolder and mesure.
For now, I'd suggest everything at 100n exept C16 which is probably around 1u and C1 & C2 around 1n.
As always, please tell me if you spot a mistake.
I recently got this vintage pedal PUE Sustain Filter (Poles are really creative at naming stuff), and it was described as Polish Big Muff, so I decided to check out the circuit. PUE was producing guitar pedals in the 80s in Lodz, Poland.

It has a plastic enclosure with battery only a power supply (however, the DC jack was added by a previous owner), and the PCB has a metal screen attachment, which is supposed to keep out radio interference. PCB is single-sided,...
I traced my Exar OD-02 OverDrive from series 2. Initially, I hoped that it will have the same circuit as OD-1, because most of the Exar series 1 and 2 pedals share the same PCBs, but it wasn't the case.
PXL_20221107_084857113.jpg
PCB is single-sided and was easy to see all the tracks on a light. My unit seems to be produced in 1996 or later according to the date code on the gain potentiometer.

It appeared that it is definitely not a TS variation, but a...
is there anyone out there who owns a Guyatone PS-011 Distortion/Sustainer, and would be willing to post a photo of the wiring inside, with PCB? Maybe even schematics, but I won’t get my hopes up.
I’m working on repairing one that was in terrible shape, can’t find any reference images to help reconnecting the cables right. Looks like an interesting circuit, with a LM308N chip, like the old Rats!
I was looking some Green Russian Big Muff Reissue Gutshots and i notice there's a Lot ou 104/103 parallel capacitors used as coupling caps.
I was wondering If it's just to get 110nf or If there's some other effect to the sound.
This OD-1 clone using a single chip ...just wanted to post it here 8)

Not the best photos, sorry - cables get in the way. Really needs all the wires to be de-soldered to get a proper look at it.
Input is top-right of the circuit (W1 & W2), then heads down the right-hand-side, across & back up the left-hand-side. Looks like there ground plane on the component side of the board is split to improve input/output separation.
Most of the caps are through-hole.
A lot of SOT-23 transistor pairs C6 and DG . There are a couple of 8 pin ICs in there too. 99M...
Hey all here is a (re-drawn in ExpressSCH) factory schematic of the 1977-1978 era MXR Dyna Comp for your reference purposes:
I am not the original author of this product. The factory plan this is based on is very grainy and this copy that I re-drew is just to make it easier to read.
Just got this unit in as the owner claims it cuts his clean signal.......... wanted to compare it to the schematic posted somewhere else...... but I discovered some differences.......

Would guess the unit to be kind of true bypass........ guess the cut of the signal is more due to the True Bypassness :D
Hi does anyone have the schematic for the Twin Tube Blue SFX-11 or know the differences of components other than the tubes from the SFX-03 schematic . It looks like they use the same pc board.
Thanks PCB.
I got this in for repair, and took the opportunity to trace it. This is a multipurpose effect: buffer/line driver, clean boost, and the interesting part is a tone control that works by varying the input impedance. It's aimed at pedal steel guitarists, whose instruments seldom have a tone control and often no volume control. Instead, most steelers use a volume pedal and adjust their tone with the amp tone controls. This effect provides a handy tone control and boost in one enclosure. The clip on...
Hi all,
Would anyone happen to have a copy of a schematic diagram for the Behringer XD300 Distortion-X effect please?
I've been asked to look at repairing an XD300. It looks as though several SMD parts have fallen off the PCB. It also appears to have been soldered with lead-free solder (ROHS sticker on the side) that generally has poor wetting characteristics for solder adhesion and poor ductility for resistance to stress and strain.
Quite a few parts appear to show signs of cracks and...
Not sure what this is supposed to be a clone of. Some claim a Blue Hippo but I’ve never tried one. However I have tried many chorus and am an electric mistress fan and this has that “metallic” sound similar to the small stone and electric mistress. With the knobs set very low and kind sound similar to each. Also does a good faux Leslie. It does have a volume boost when engaged and it also must have a longer than usual delay set time because it’s almost like a doubler or even very quick slap...
