Interesting how the wires are done (no thru-hole connection).  Must be fiddly to do!

No - faster and easier: you don`t have to twist the de-isolated end:
just tin it, hold it to the pad, and hit it with the iron - no fiddling trying to target the hole...

Yeah, but a PCB trace is only glued down.  If the wire goes through a hole, the board takes some of the stress if the wire is yanked.  

To each their own!  :)

are there really that few components involved? esp for the price?!! i want one!

Don't forget they were $150 or so new.  Collectors have jacked up the prices way into the land of stupid.

The one I had at one point was different IIRC, all the wires were done the "correct" way, through holes.

i assume no schemos out there- or is that wrong to ask?

it`s "Lead To Trace" -wiring, or "Wire To Pad" -wiring (LTT or WTP)...

it`s cool, man - somebody shove it into the MoJo-thread...  :lol:

Jimbob,

Here's the layout:

It's basically a Craig Anderton circuit based on the 4049 chip. I like Frank Clarke's version better.

i prefer xx69 : less holes/pins

Hmmm, now you mention it I do see how this could improve tone (less chance of molecules from the fibreglass board sucking highs as the electrons pass through the hole in it).

Wow, I was blind and now I can see!   :lol:  8)

can you imagine how much useless resin is wasted, just to fill the space between the fierce fibres with goop?

Yeah, but I bet there are gaps, or 'air pockets', just big enough for electrons to hide in...that would account for the lack of bass I find with through hole wiring!  :P

I'm not sure if those are the original guts, unless it was a really early pedal.  All the Red Llama's I've seen have had light coloured fibreglass boards that were attached to the enclosure via plastic standoffs.
