OVERALL OPINION

Despite some flaws, this pedal is what is closest to what I expect for a low distortion (grain mix knob between its light and saturated). His big flaw: the "party" saturated signal is overloaded in acute.
With the guidance of Tom Mojo, so I hacked in every sense but for years without coming to fix this annoying feature.
Normally, I recently discovered a forum explaining the problem is actually a manufacturing defect at the factory! The diagram indicates that the DOD should be a resistor R3 1K (brown-black-red-gold) while a 200Ω (red-black-brown-gold) lives in the pedal. Which rises above the cut-over to 720Hz 6Khz ...
Components are identified on the printed circuit board modification is very simple and requires no special expertise in electronics. Simply remove the back plate, remove buttons, nuts pots, the screw that secures the circuit and replace R3 by 1K (or 900Ω, 800Ω or even if one wants to maintain a few of his acute).
And that changes everything!
In passing, we may take the opportunity to replace the mini-international on-off, aging in general poorly ...
