Hi Peeps!
I m very interested in the Pete Cornish P-2 (the SS-2 is interesting 2). Unfortunately it s like impossible to find any schematic of these due to the seal and waranty story :(
Even if dont get the schematic this way I d be interested in any schematic of Pete Cornish just to give me a hint what he could have done.
Already small tips like what kind and type of amplification he uses with bias or the values of the caps in the main path to protect from DC and thining the bass part singnal to be distored. Any small info would be precious to me.
THX very much!

Alright, so I built it, and it was doing just fine. So I needed to break it.
I took out the diodes, and noticed it still distorts without them. Why's that?
I switched the drive pot from 100k to 500k, to play around with gain. Very fuzzy.
By now, wires are breaking from being bent constanlty for long periods of time while making changes.
Out of nowhere, I plug it in again, and it's gating. You know, that fuzz factory sound, where you've got gigantic fuzz for a second, and then a big die out to nothing, no noise at all? What's the deal with that? Did I kill a part? I'd need a lot more voltage for it to make jumps...
PS: my tone control never seemed to work.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure you've got better things to do than help a n00b out.
