Here's my contribution to FSB. I traced a Valveboy. Let me now if the schem has errors.

Welcome!

Looks interesting...

it appears that diodes are doing most of the distortion. Were you able to identify what type of diodes it uses for clipping?

Hey man!

I forgot to mention that the diodes are 3mm LEDs. The regular ones like what Boss uses for indicator leds. I didnt try modding the thing as it isnt mine. A buddy asked if i could give it to a common friend and somewhere along the way someone dismantled and traced it

. It has too much bass. And I want to know what it sounds like with.out the diodes.

Sadly I dont have it with me anymore. I can tell you its a double sided PCB with board mounted tube sockets and a board mounted step up traffo. Ill try to take some pics if I come across it again.
