A weird pedal I got in a couple of years ago to fix; never heard from it and never saw another one again!

Someone ever seen one?????

what can we say about this pedal ?
We have japanese jacks and footswitches used in the 70´s. A TI 741 from 1979.
Radiohm potentiometers from the 80´s cause later they didn´t use this brown pertinax.
two Siemens MKT film caps late 70´s or early 80´s.
One Philips electrolytic, Piher and probably Vitrohm resistors. Germanium AA119 diodes. The holes for the components are 1mm.

That means:
This unit neither has been made in US nor in Japan. It has been made in a small business (1mm holes instead of 0,8mm) most probably in england in the early 80´s.

This guy is a killer encyclopedia

Great box, I love the footprint, very cool. How does it sound?

Boring, very boring

Woah, 10K input impedance...
Maybe an input buffer would help it to sound less boring?
Interesting to see switchable diodes on an old thing like this.

And you STILL have it???? :p

I think I saw a D&M pedal before (on Marktplaats?), but it's not on my site, so I have to search my archives...

If it's really a brand and not DIY I should add it to my site...
