Picked up one of these on sale. It sounds pretty good, but not $380 good!

Notes:
- As seen in the pic, they've tried to maintain the ~mystery~ by scratching the ICs. I can still make out "08" on U2, and judging by the fact that it's a through-hole device it must be an LM308.
- I can also make out "072C" on U3.
- Q1 is a 2N5457.
- The glass diodes are 1N4148s.

I'll be happy to provide more pics and information if there's interest in reversing this!

Having heard one, I have a strong suspicion it's a TS one side, Rat on the other.
