Do not hesitate to put corrections/revisions : as I said : just bought an old SCF a few days ago, but I'm actually too overbooked to work or focus on it
Ohhhh!!! great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that solutions many many, unknows I have too!! take your time, I´M doing the base PCB!!!! it´s great!!!!!!!! I love the FLANGER and CHORUS!!! I have made some of them, The MISTRESS flanger with MN3007; the CHORUS with PT2399, and goin to make a flanger with the PT2399, cuze this IC is so popular in PERÚ it´s easy to obtain, also the MN3007!!! it´s very very common !!!!!! :lol: :lol:
I´m tuned awating that photos, all you can do man take your time, please details details ehhh!!! THANKS man!!!!!!!!!!!

You will love the TC if you build it : for most of those who tried/used it, it's the best chorus on Earth : doesn't degrade the dry signal, no hum, no noise, very precise, warm, 100dB dynamics. If you like Andy Summers, Eric Johnson or John Petrucci choruses, that's the shit.
The MISTRESS flanger with MN3007
bought a out of use last year for 30€... but no MN3007 on board : it's an older one than your schematic w SAD1024, I love it!
the CHORUS with PT2399, and goin to make a flanger with the PT2399, cuze this IC is so popular in PERÚ
I don't think I'll ever build any digital effect considering stuff I got. I think I'll make ppl mad if I list my equipment

I can help you to identify components on upper board.
I use sprint layout 5.0, I d'ont know if I can open 6.0 files (I search a 6.0 version)
Trace in red the components with unknow values on a SL view
I have a scan to draw responses.

Please Stephanovitch,
if you can take some measurements, add clock frequencies. Please read here viewtopic.php?f=28&t=22623

Sorry Fender3D but I have not original stompbox.
I have drawn schematics with webs plans and works of Iznogoud

BTW, I noted how the trimmers were put on my work ;) IKt's not a precise thing but I think it can help a little for calibrating

The BASE LAY are from the picture galleries that Stephanovitch put on his message, some values are diferents from the version 2, but some resistors are lost on the version 2 in the controls lay; I´m waiting the photos of the original ones or a mesage to do a corrections, thanks of all of you, it is a pleasure to do this lays!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I can continued helping; I´m tuned if you have more photos!!!!!!!! the upper layout please!!!!! it is not on the picture gallery or are not clear enougth!!!!!

I post some values that I will see in the photos, in the PCB layout by iznogoud, his version2, he don´t see the value of a condenser; it´s corrected, and I see a diferent value of a resistor in the photo; there is a 51K resistor; and the position of one that is unknow his value, the rest; well other eye can help please?????
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The value of the unknow resistor next to BC548B is 4k7 (see R129 on part 4 of my previous posted schematic)

The value of the resistor at right of the "speed" pot is not 4M7 but 4k7 (see R128 on part 4 of my previous posted schematic)

Thanks, thas the problem of the photo f the upper circuit, some values are no clear, yea I suposed that the unknow ressitor is 4K7, ummm the rigth ones at the speed, o yeah I see it, well posting the wrigt value yet:
