Hi there!
I found some pics of the pcb:

I would like to get more closer pics of the main board, and know whats the deal with this one.

Looks like a Tonebender to me.
AFAIK, the upper board is just a buffer/power setup.

I gotta agree with this. It looks like a silicon tonebender. That big tranny is probably a bd139-esque low gain so its not balls out fuzzy. And the upper board is like in Danelectro pedals: its a buffer/switching only.

Thanks guys!
I was to ask about that big transistor.
I hope somebody upload more/better pics soon

Hi, The top board is a bypass; in general, it is not necessary to remove the circuit, although it would be interesting for me to get a bypass circuit for myself
Regarding the pedal, I am 99% sure that this is another pedal based on the Big Muff maybe black Russian, with some mods.

Perhaps the board is two-way and it makes sense to photograph the second side

Sure, that's what I notice.
Sadly, the pedal isn't mine: I found the pics in diystompboxes forum.

I'd argue it's definitely not a big muff.
No clipping diodes.
Q4 and Q5 are connected together.
Parts count is way too low.

That's why I said maybe Tone Bender-esque, not a muff at all afaik. Sounds great in any case. that big transistor looks familiar with the darlington type pair after it.

The guy that post the photos in the other forum didn't back.. justo 1 entry, 1 post, and no updates.


So... we will have to wait guys...
