I just had one of these across my bench for repair.

Got it fixed up, and it is quite a sweet sounding distortion pedal.  There are 3 different distortion/clipping circuits in it.  Actually the clipping section looked pretty complex.

Does anyone happen to have a schematic for it?  I wasn't able to turn one up in my searches.

Well, I don't know this pedal, but the name remind much the Maxon Distortion Master, but this have a one kind of clipping and not a tone pot but bass and treble tonestack.
Maybe you can say if them sound the similar.
