I just found this interesting Japanese site. It has some schematics I've never seen before, like the EH black finger and the Roland Beegee. Furthermore it has some nice pics of stompbox guts, including 6 (six!!) different versions of the Boss OD-1.....

This site is kinda hard to navigate (and I don't understand Japanese), but here are some nice picks:

Thanks. Is cool to see how something is wrote in other languages. Here is "nós temos que aprender japonês".

Here's an example of a Babel Fish translation from the Blackfinger page. Not totally unreadable. In fact the description seems pretty thorough.

"In other words, you use the input signal kind of detector which outputs the electric current which is proportionate to the absolute value of the input signal cleanly and at the same time in order with usual use for the output of IC1 not to exceed ±523.8mV, if you set, it is foreboding may be usable sufficiently. With says, the electric current which is proportionate to the input signal cleanly is output, っ て outside thing is difficult, it is, but."

Hmm...  Kind of interesting, especially if anybody out there is really into the BOSS OD-1, or if you're planning to catalog all the different IC's that were used in the OD-1 (apparently, there were quite a few).  The Tech Tips section had a neat little basic tutorial on the How-To's and Why's of building a distortion box, though most of that info could easily be found in English already (admittedly though, this site looks much better than most).  If anyone out there really is desperate to get a translation of 1 or 2 particular pages, just post which ones you need, and I could probably post a translation on here in a day or 2 (I lived in Japan for almost 2 years, and my wife is also Japanese, oh, and I'm studying Japanese in colege right now, too).  Yeah, I sorta skimmed over it, but it's got a post type forum like this one, but with nowhere near the number of posts that this one has, and seems mostly concentrated on the OD-1 pedal, but with some other interesting stuff in there too.

BTW, here's a couple of my favorite Japanese effects companies:  http://www.yakudatu.com/~kinko/sobbat/index.html
and...
http://www.sam.hi-ho.ne.jp/tsu-/Boot-Leg/

Sobbat pedals are a little plain looking, but their overdrives sound great right out of the box!  Boot-Leg is owned by ESP Guitars, I think.  I used to have a Boot-Leg Jawbreaker that I loved, which sounded like a very much improved ProCo Rat (not trying to knock the Rat pedal here or anything).  I think you can even order from their sites, though they're probably not cheap, and I don't think there's much, if any tutorial or technical stuff on their sites, but they're something interesting for those who've never been guitar shopping in Ochanomizu before!

That Roland Bee Gee looks interesting - what's the story on that one?
