[sdiy] Moogerfooger schematics was diodes/LED

Mon Jan 13 17:55:49 CET 2003

Hmmm.... now I'll have to buy one and reverse engineer it JUST
for the challenge.  Even with unmarked ICs it should not be super
difficult.  I (of course) respectfully decline to reverse engineer
the BBD unit, eh ???   ;^P

OTOH what secrets are there in these pedals, anyway?  Anyone could
clone them... albeit I bet you could not do it in as few components
as Master Moog... he is the king of using one part for three functions at once. True Genius !
