Hi Guys,
I have a Cool Cat Fuzz that someone messed with the tone Pot.
I was looking for the schematics to check the original values of the pots on this pedal, but can't find any...
I already looked for gutshots, but seems like there's a variety of different guts...

One that looks like the same, i identified this:

VR1 - FUZZ - A10K
VR2 - TONE - ??
VR3 - VOLUME - B100K

Anyone knows something about this pedals or have a Diagram?

Thanks

I Think mine its the version 1, the code in the PCB is : PCB-CF-1-01R2 0822D

So it should be TONE = B10K

Right?

Well if it has two lm386 and a 4558 ics in there it's a V1, if it has an lf353 it's a V2. If none of the above it's something else. If it's a V1 then yes the tone pot is B10K.

Yes, it has two lm386 and a 4558 ic, so i got my value.
Now i'll try to find a correct POT for this, for now i only found them on ali express :S but i don't know about the quality of those pots.

Many Thanks for your help
