A transatralntic trace by Enrico, AlexS and fuzzhead. A big thanks goes to Enrico for letting us trace his pedal, all the images and the schematic. The layout is tested and verified. There is some odd parts in there which can easily be subbed for other values. (221ohm to 220 ohm and 4,64k to 4,7k). … Read more
