Friedman Motor CIty (FET City Drive)

[music6000]

PedalPCB tends to steer clear of High Voltage circuits for the safety of the Builds, Sushi Box is the man for the High Voltage Tube based pedals &
clearly states the risks, it can cause serious harm.
This is a PPCB FET Transistor based version of the Friedman Motor City Drive emulating the Tube.

Exactly!!! This is an emulation of the original pedal... so what I'm looking for is the original schematic, that was obviously used to create this emulation!
Someone must have reversed engineered the pedal to see what was going on... I would just like to see that too.

Are you trying to tell me I can't ask for that?

Here is a gutshot of the Original, Look at the red led clippers in there!
How much is the Tube actually doing to get the Overdriven sound.
I would say that unless someone is willing to release a schematic, you will have to get the real thing.
It was obviously not viable for friedman to continue releasing it.
I own quite a few Boutique Tube pedals & since I started building pedals, there are alot out there where the tube is just there for show!
One in particular is 240v Power but the internal transformer is 12 volts!!!

My original post was clear!
I own the original Friedman Motor City Drive.
I'm looking for the schematic for that, not trying to build one from scratch!!!

No offense, but I'm not an amateur and don't need to be schooled.

No offense taken.
I would open it up & reverse enginer it yourself if you have the skills then.

Not sure what your agenda is but not one of your posts has been helpful.
I'll figure it out or maybe someone will be kind enough to share.

My guy just walked into a Zaxby's and demanded KFC's secret recipe.
Welcome to the forum. Compared to much of the internet, there is a bit of etiquette around here. Joining and bumping multiple people's build reports out of self interest and not even commenting on the build... not cool.
And like any good local pub, if a stranger comes in and starts pounding on the bar- We're gonna bust your balls.
I would suggest starting your own thread. Maybe post some clear well lit gut shots of both side of your pedal's PCB and a description of what's wrong and what you have found thus far.
You may not get a schematic but maybe you'll get a hand.

I simply asked if anyone knew where I could find or possibly had the schematic for the original pedal, I demanded nothing!

There's very little information about this pedals circuit except for this emulation on this forum. So I posted my request in a few threads that matched what I was looking for.

I'm not here for drama or to cause any trouble.

No worries though... if I reverse engineer it I will gladly share and help others.
