The heck is going on inside Jam Pedals Eureka?

[Alessio326]

I've literally searched for a schematic, a clear PCB photo, or any information at all for years. I found nothing.
Before I go crazy and fly to their HQ, does somebody have a schematic, trace or any information at all about this ***** circuit?
Thanks

There's a picture of the inside on their website. There's actually a little ducky in it.

I think I see 4 transistors, perhaps labeled on the pcb as bc107 and 2n5088. I saw it mentioned when I googled it that it was muff fuzz inspired, but not sure how much.

Well, yeah
But I interrogated it and it's not willing to tell me more about the circuit ahahah

Yeah that's the problem. A lot of different designs are said to sound "muff-like" without even being based on a muff.
And this one even lacks any kind of clipping diode :/
Btw I thought the same about the transistors used

Jumbo Tonebender is a BMP with no diodes…

Almost never works....

Not so sure it's a Muff, there's a trim pot and a bias point.

As far as I know, the Jumbo has a single pair of diodes on its last section, so I'd say it's not the one (great sound btw)

Yeah I thought that too... maybe a fuzz face style circuit in place of the 2 clipping section from a muff? Still the components doesn't match that well...

I can't believe that no one before ever thought about tracing it

Sweet lawds would I love a trace of the Wahcko

I'm not much into wahs, but that's for sure another strange case of missing schematic on the www

Companies don't just distribute their schematics and also, the more expensive a pedal the less likely the Average Joe is going to buy one to trace.

Also, Wahs are pretty simple and there is only so much a company can do different with that circuit, i.e. it's probably derivative of mostly every other wah out there.

You need to hire this guy:

I don't think that's a real duck. I once saw a duck and it looked different from that.

How dare you insult him like that???

If you de-gooped him I'll bet he'd look more familiar.

Does the duck actually come with, though?

I want to add a pair of gutshots.

One of the transistor is a BC107. And...

Edito: There is more gutshot in this video:
