Friend of mine sent me non working Moollon overdrive pedal.
He tried to contact manufacturer for help, but no answer.
So, he decided to send pedal to me and asked me for help.
He said that if I cannot repair it, I can build something different into such a nice enclosure.
So, this is my first degooping action.
MAybe somebody is interrested in the pictures, if you can help t trace it, it would be appreciated.
I destroyed a few of components during degooping, but at least I know the values of them.

If you have guts of untraced pedals (guessing isn't tracing ;-) ) please resize them to reasonable screen size and upload.
I've seen pedals traced from pictures posted years earlier.
