McGillwell - Fet Booster

Anyone ever heard of these pedals? I got one in from a friend and it isn't working.
The DC jack was placed afterwards and short circuited one of the lugs of the pometer (not the grounded one) as it wasn't secured well enough. The print is epoxied in all the way.... All I can spot are two ceramic caps.
The website of him is weird........ I spot the fet boosters besides the anti snore units here...........

The potmeter is grounded on the middle lug and ' blends' two signals. To one side it lowers the volume, to the other it cuts treble. Like putting a volume and a tone knob together in a single potmeter.

So I found out that the epoxy could be removed with a hot soldering iron. It turns to dust 
So here's the schematic:

Have you played it yet? Does the unusual combined vol / tone pot give a range of useful tones?

I was pretty wrong with that assumption; the knob is a split gain knob.
When it is set in the middle of the turn, the unit has a tad more volume when compared to bypass mode.
When turned to either side, the gain increases but also the tonal response. To one side you get a nice full boost that is a bit heavy on the lower mids (22u section)
When turned to the other side you get a nice shrill boost with more treble.
The potmeter is not that fully funcional as it quickly jumps in gain and volume on the far sides of the turn. Yet, the sound is pretty decent. On higher gain settings even a small amount of clipping is introduced
