Does anyone have the schematic or service manual for this?

I'd be interested to see that as well. I had one for a while and had to sell it to pay off band fees. Anyway, I would be most interested in the LFO seciton.

I have one of these units, albeit in it's Maxon guise.

Just bought one on ebay an hour ago.

Gut shots to come...

Nice!
400ms of delay time shared between two MN3005 chips. As they're not running at max, you get a beautiful delay sound which is pristine.

From the modezero site, by the way.

Yeah, running two MN3005 chips low enough to get 400ms total will definitely keep distortion and clock bleed noise down! I heard the AD-230 even uses four MN3005s to get a delay of about 600ms. Must have been nice to have had MN3005s so plentiful and cheap. Now everyone tries to squeeze so much time out of a single chip. What did a MN3005 retail for back when they were in production?
