Had one of these obscure little buggers come across my bench recently so I thought id trace it. Its not exactly remarkable but does sound good. The original switching is garbage which is why ive highlighted to remove it.

What , because of the 741 ??
The title of the contraption is quite pretentious.

Dunno what it was used in originally, but the current user has it for guitar. The documentation for it said it could be used for a variety of uses including recording, hifi, guitar, etc. Some quick research tells me that this company was around in the early 80s, and for a bit used by Randy Rhodes and Rudy Sarzo. Anyway I just figured if I cant find a schematic, then maybe it hasnt been traced. So I drew one up.

Seeing this got me curious about the Zeus Overdrive pedal again so I tracked one down. Modified Distortion+ with a crude tone control, there's your Randy Rhodes connection.

sorry for the necropost, but did anyone save this schematic? Blake from The tone mob podcast looking for one to modify his.
