Hey FSB members, I haven't seen much discussion in the area of Pigtronix and I feel that they are coming up with some new ideas as far as effect pedals go. This is their compressor pedal, actually a limited edition version. The only thing that's different, from my understanding, is that a germanium transistor is used in the "GRIT" "engine" in this particular version.
I really like the way the switch and jacks are connected, seems reliable to me?

It looks to be extremely difficult to trace from just pictures, and past what I could do with the pedal in my hand.
Is that 12 diodes?
What’s the big black guy to the left of the 1uF 50V cap?
Is that the germ in the bottom left?
What’s with the empty TP3/TP2 connections on the component-side of the PCB?
Anyways, just wanted to share this cool pedal with everyone.
