I bought it off ebay for around 10$ a while ago... the XLR line driver output doesn't seem to work, but that's not a great deal since i don't use it...
However, the pot should be replaced and i really don't know/can't understand its value... so i was wondering if anyone of you knows, or has the original schematic...
i've seen tonepad has a clone project for it, so maybe the guys that own the site can help me... unfortunately i didn't find an email address to contact them...

thank you  :icon_wink:

The tonepad project includes a schematic and indicates that the pot is 500k log. Or are you unsure if the tonepad schematic is accurate?

well i-ve seen another schem and it says it-s a 600k pot... so i was just a bit confused..

600k is not a common pot value but 500k is. Even if 600k was the origional value you're not likely to find one for your own build and 500k is close enough that it shouldn't make any difference in the sound or performance.
