wow, that is f'd up. starting the circuit with that tone stack is going to lead to some SERIOUS impedance issues!

it has 2004, oliver on the inside.
it was working then the volume knobs stopped working, then i found that it wasnt grounded so i grounded it, now it seems like the filters dont do what they are supposed to be doing aka treble boost isnt much of a treble boost etc. and the output is janky. i will keep trying to contact dba to get it repaired...

Given that this thing is all fucked up design-wise, I think that's probably your best bet to make it "sound right" (haha).
The *should* replace that disgraceful pile of fail with the new circuit board. That would be the least they could do.

i would love a proper circuit board and a pedal that functions as it is supposed to. i have been emailing them a couple times a day since i got it but i have yet to hear back from them. hopefully i get a response at some point in the very near future.

Oh the irony.
Death (of your other guitar gear) by audio.
I can see where AG is coming from, this circuit is terrible.

Hey Guys...
Years after tracing, it rid me today that i wanted to make a pcb-layout for it.
So maybe one of you wants to build it or so...
Here it is.. Files are in Eagle-Format
Have Fun
