Can any one show me a schematic for it or even some inside photos please?
This pedal is a rare one in a metal casing the same size and shape as the Big Muff.
This thing sounds utterly different to any replica.

This is what it looks like on the outside

EHX modded mine to get rid of the volume drop...... (free) so there may be some resistors "wrong"

It doesn't work but it sounds "utterly different" - I presume that's in a bad way?  What doesn't work about it?

There's obviously some loose wiring coz it worked intermitantly
and does high end silvery feedback
but it's not working at all now.
but I'll get to work on it.

I do remember a notable volume drop when using it and would be greatful if any one can tell me what the mod is to correct this
