I would like to know a bit more about this particular device as there seems to be very little info on the internet about it. By looking inside I noticed they have gone to great extents to stop any body knowing what OP-amps they are using (special op-amps??) by painting over all the numbers on the top. the same with all the transistors.
I was hoping to find out if they use the same F.E.T. as the 1176LN. also there seems to be a lot of diodes, imagine some are for rectification in the side chain, but are others used for clipping? this thing can produce some heavy distortion! I noticed an LED on the circuit-board, again could this be for asymmetrical clipping? Also as there is no threshold control, i'm guessing that is has a fixed threshold, a bit like the 1176 however I did notice on the board some resistors that looked as though you maybe able to customise the threshold, with swappable resistor boards(is this true). It would be very much appreciated if people could share any knowledge with me to give me a better understanding of what's going on inside the box.
Thanks everybody.
