Behringer UC200 Chorus LFO smoothing

It sounds to me like it has a triangle wave LFO and if you plug a dummy lead into the dry output the main output goes wet only and becomes a cool (if weird) vibrato. It got me wondering whether it would be possible to filter the LFO a touch to give an optional different character to the chorus/vibrato.
My thinking is that the depth pot is probably a voltage divider so putting a cap between the output of that and ground shouldn't be too hard, does this sound right? If it sounds good I'd try and find a place to add a switch so I can go back to the original sound.
Does anyone know what it's based on and if there's a schematic to check my guess?

Excellent, much appreciated! I imagine the UC200 is a minor revision like a version 1.1 as they seem to have the same features.
Ok, the depth pot VR5A looks like a voltage divider but the lower side is not tied to ground but rather the junction of R16 and R17, which I guess is a biasing reference, looks like it might be V+/2 as they're both 10k. Does this mean I'd want to tie my smoothing cap to that reference voltage rather than ground? I'm just making an (only slightly) educated guess so I'd be really grateful if someone could correct me if I'm wrong or otherwise confirm my understanding.

Hey all, I just bought a Behringer UC200 as a repair project. The complaint in the add was output B had a lower level than output A. My question is, is there supposed to be chorus effect on output B? Or this this a dry signal only output? Thanks!
Hey everyone, I just did a quick test with an ABY box and when using both outputs, A is the vibrato part of the chorus, and B is the dry signal. When using just A, I get a good strong signal out and when I mix the two, A is a bit distorted and the summed output is a little less than it should be. I'm guessing there's something wrong in the circuit before the dry signal gets out. The UC100 schematic from
uncleboko is going to be handy.
