Surprised no one has even mentioned the fuzz yet... Is it lack of interest or fear for another shit show?

Looks like some sort of discrete flip-flop / FET switching.
I just realized that:
1) I didn't even bother to plug this pedal in to see if it works before gutting it
2) I have nothing to test this pedal with
Now I'm going to have to buy an acoustic, and some sort of XLR equipped device to plug it into....

@Robert-
A) I assume you just reach into an Event Horizon portal to grab whatever instrument you happen to need at the moment. Does it have a passive pickup in it?
B) thank you for the new profile pic. I call him Lego Pharoah.
C) you'll be happy to know that many of my mandolin parts barely present as such - here's a spot I did on a Dream Pop album, for instance. Not sure anyone would guess there's electric mandolin on it. https://clocktowermusic.bandcamp.com/track/it-happens

Request-dsubMixing things up a bit....
We might need @steviejr92's help on this one... you can cut slots and squares, right?

I just found it in the closet, I have no idea. Since that's what I need, I'm going to say probably not.
I'm just joking around about the mandolin thing, I can't even place hearing one aside from Losing My Religion....

I'm pretty ambivalent about REM generally, but I've heard that song enough for a lifetime.
If the Ovation has a battery-powered preamp it probably won't tell ya a whole lot about the Red-Eye... still, it's somethin!

That’s actually a PCB for the Buffers power supply.

I'm not much of a dead head but I've always liked playing Friend of the Devil. It's a good one.

Battery operation is probably good to have for people using it on a belt pack sort of thing. While a battery check feature sounds nice, I don’t think it’s essential.
A standard 1/4” unbalanced output would be nice to have in addition to the balanced XLR out.
FX loop bypass could definitely be really beneficial.
