I will try to get more pictures later. These are the best ones I could find so far.

The big chip has marking TMS32xxxx. 
I can't read the rest but I'm pretty certain it's a TMS320xxxx which is a (common) Texas Instruments DSP chip.
So all the filter goodies for the cab sim etc will be implemented in software inside that.

According to the water analogy of electricity, transistor leakage is caused by holes.

cheers,   wow, that looks a lot more complicated than i initially thought it would....

Do you want more pictures, or probably not worth trying to DIY?

That's pretty cool to see though. That's a lot of DSP in a little box...which of course is the way things are going. You can design a pedal like that and then change the software and the box's screen printing and you've got a new product. TC Electronic are well on top of this, from what I can see. And since the cost of production is largely about the numbers, being able to re-use the same board for many pedals makes a lot of sense.

Sigh...Maybe one day.;)
