Hi.
I own a Menatone Howie ( the latest version with a clean and a drive channel )
It´s a dumble-in-a-box pedal and it sounds great.
I could draw a schematic and shoot some pics, if someone is interested.

I would have to desolder many parts to draw a schematic. If you want some special pics, let me know

Thanks!
Drain and Source of the 2n7000 (Vg and V- in your schematic) are referring to nothing. Maybe Vg goes to Q2 and Q3 trim pots? Thanks again

hey torben, thanks a lot!!
I redraw the schematic at this moment for better reading
nice to see mr. mark hammers SWTC...

@ ik6gpy: V- goes to the DC-jack or battery-
Vg goes to the output-jack (it´s that little green wire)

here my redrawn schematic, please let me know if there are any errors.
torben, could you messure the drain-voltages if you reassembled the circuit? thanks a lot!

Great info guys! R17 = 47M ohms! Whoa, I think that is the largest value resistor I've ever seen in stompbox...

That's a lot of self-biased JFETs.

that's gotta be 4.7M, right?

No, it's actually 47M. If you have a look at the real #124 Dumble Ods schematic you'll see the same values on that stage.
