VooDoo Labs Micro-Vibe, anyone look inside ?

  Prompted by similar thread about Uni and Neo Vibes...
  Micro has small volume drop vs unity.
  Sounds pretty good but doesn't seem to get a super lush wobbly tone to it.
  Wondering if anyone has diddled around with the circuit or even if there's any schematic to layout type information..I haven't turned the board over to see what the components side looks like..yet.

I believe there is a trim pot somewhere on the board to make things more lush and wobbly.  I briefly looked at mine (fairly new one) and decided it wasn't worth the hassle to take it apart since i didn't like the basic effect enough to bother.  But, I can't recall whether why that was (glue, goop...something like that...).

According to the Voodoo Lab website, most of the units that come back for service need the trimpot reset. It's apparently very sensitive and touchy. Once it's out of whack, a lot of people have trouble finding the right place for it to go back to. A little tweak on that trimpot can make it better, or make it useless. If you're gonna try, I'd say mark it somehow so you can at least try to find the original setting after you move it if it doesn't work anymore. If you move that trimpot, you're warranty is void.

Lots of people don't like working on VL stuff because they solder the switch right to the PCB. More stuff to mess with if you want it out to look under the board. Also easier for a loose switch to break the PCB or the switch solder joints (common problem with Voodoo Lab stuff).

  Sounds Ok.
  Thanks for inside stats!

I love mine.  I had built an Easyvibe and was very disappointed, so when I heard the Microvibe I just bought it. 

You can hear it on this 23rd Century song:
