Can somebody help with a link to a Danelectro Cool Cat Diagram?
Thanks!

I don't think I've seen one online. Most of the mini-pedals appear to be clones of other designs, but I haven't heard much about this one. Are you trying to fix one, clone it or do something else?

It's a little incomplete but this may help:

As far as I'm aware there's no schematic for the Cool Cat (hardly surprising as most of their stuff tends to be surface mount and is difficult to trace).  Seeing as all their other stuff seem to be clones (though the Wasabi range looks a little more original), I'd wager that the Cool Cat is a Boss knockoff (it does use dual-supply doesn't it?).  If you own one take the back off and do a IC count.  Even if the ICs aren't the exact ones used in a Boss, they'll probably be the same type, and of the same number, and will be a good indication as to whether they've ripped off the circuit (although I didn't trace it, my Chilli Dog has the same type and number of chips as a Boss OC2).

Don't forget that they all seem to use 4053s for switching.

Apologies for my previous dumb post...can't help myself sometimes!  :)

Reminds me of the joke about the guys lost in a helicopter who find themselves over a big city.  As they passover a large officee tower, they see someone on the roof, so they yell, "Where are we?"  The guy on the roof replies, "In a helicopter!"  Whereupon one of the guys in the chopper says, "No prob, we're in Seattle."  Theother guy: "WTF, how do you know that?"  Because that was just like Microsoft Tech Support:  information that is technically correct but completely useless."

Shows you how old I am.  Microsoft Tech Support?  :D
