Hi,

What's the deal with this one? They say it runs on higher voltage than usual (but powered from 9V battery/adapter).
Anyone familiar with any details concerning the schematic, parts etc?

A 9v battery, as many here have successfully found out, can be "upverted".

I was just going to say it probably has a charge pump in it. it's too new to find a scheme or anything. Probably you can build something that sounds better seems to be more of digitech's modeling crap! Look at the bsiab or some of the stuff dsscwhrtz has been cooking upor better yet dragonfly!

I know that very well from long experience with charge pumps. The question was more like are they running FETs at higher voltages or opamps or what?

probably Chips, digitech is almost exclusively digital modelling now
