My shit didn't get jacked after all, the maildude just dropped it off on the wrong street. I've been using it today and it's surprisingly a good pedal for shoegaze sounds. I'll record a demo later, but the lack of clipping diodes really opened it up, it's way less compressed and thin sounding than I remember it being. It's great for lo-fi fizz with some vibrato too, I'm glad I have one again. _________________

Learned from the serial number, this one was made in June 1998. Here's the diodes clipped out, I'd like to clean out those points and solder in some sort of sockets to try out different diodes and diode combinations sometime and not have to destroy the board constantly swapping them out.
This was the best shootout and demo I could find and it fucking RULES. The micro pedal clone seems to be thicker, fuzzier, and basically I'd love to find out what circuit changes they made to get it to sound that way because it slaps. _________________

I’ve noticed that extra switching on these micros typically clones famous Keeley or Monte Allums mods. A lot of the time, funnily enough, extra diode clipping options, so switching in and out the change you’ve made to yours, or LED, germanium diodes etc...
