as soon as I get some more time I'll take pictures we may actually be able to do something with using a light to see the traces. For now here are some shots to show you what the circuit looks like, surprisingly enough there are far more components than expected for a boost with a cocked wah feature. These obviously will not help us trace the pedal but with some help hopefully, it's something we can get done as a team!
(I swapped out all of the IC's for NOS LF353'S whith the white stripe for the wider frequency band, plus they look amazing)

When I have more time I'll load the rest of the pictures I took :twisted: :horsey:

I hope Jim, Bajaman or any of the other many talented people in this forum could help me get this traced for all to enjoy, it sounds epic in a fx loop of a high gain amp. I can't say how it sounds for anything else but I imagine pretty good because the cocked wah feature and the ability to use it as an added gain stage

Im trying to trace this circuit, but there are many things that is blocking the view in the Pictures. like the wires and the input and output female jacks, I suspect that there are traces underneath the I/O jacks. The Picture itself is quite blurry, there are many things that is hard to see. hope there is an HD version of the photos.

seems like I can't do this. there are many traces that I can't see through the photos. maybe another set of photos where we can see traces under the IC, JACKS, and potentiometers. And no wires blocking the view?

or maybe it is me lacking experience and knowledge on tracing pcbs thru photos?
