DS-1, MIT, unknown date and S/N (label missing) - think it's around 2002. Keeley SEM and Ultra as described here (done by me):
http://www.robertkeeley.com/audio6l6/dstech.html

Note:
- I didn't add the switch to kick in the extra LED for the "D-Ultra" mod as it didn't take the sound where I wanted it to go
- the resistor for the "check LED" is 6k8, not the 2k4 on the Keeley site, and the "check LED" is a 3mm bright white

Hi Laurie

I like your 20K resistor, I guess you don't have the r24 range in your collection, just the r12 series.

I imagine you do that for the vintage mojo, with the carbon composition type resistors.

Remind me to put a few in your goodies stash.
Regards Dr. Bob

No serial number.

In one of the pics, you can just make out the Bubble lenses over the LED displays.
These were commonly used to magnify the very small displays.
For those that are wondering, the background is the sch. of a long chip DD-2

Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo with ToneLok pots

This pedal can now officially be named:
Worlds Smelliest Pedal:

To keep this thread mainly filled with pictures;
Please post any comments regarding this here:

http://www.bossarea.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6245

The plastic used in the ToneLok pots, is the new stuff that seems to be coming pout of Various Asian countries, & smells like wet musty old socks.
Or think of "old wet Gym towels", that you forgot about in the boot/trunk of your car.

It's really foul, & worse on hot days.

As Lurie knows, it took me months, to figure out what the foul smell in my Lab was, I literally pulled everything out of he room piece by piece.
The smell in the warmer part of the late afternoon was overpowering.
I even had to start using a small cooling fan, to move some of the air out of the room.

When I finally found out what it was:
I put this pedal outside, pulled apart for over 4 months, & the smell just doesn't go away.
I washed it with various PCB & other cleaners, & the smell still persists.


It seems that more & more stuff, is being made out of this smelly plastic material.

My daughter bought a new & expensive hair brush, the handle was made of the same smelly plastic,
If you held onto the handle, for even just a few seconds, the smell transferred itself to your hand/s & skin, & you really had to scrub your hands hard with soap, to get rid of the transferred smell.
It went back to the store for a refund.

The bank note acceptors on some newer vending/gambling machines, is also made of this smelly plastic.

The soles of some women's shoes, are also made from this plastic.

NO! This is not a Joke, but it's funny in a strange way.

Sound wise, It is a really great pedal, 2.6 seconds of possible delay.

Regards Dr. Bob

Great shots & nice copyright.

Do you turn off your camera flash when you snap or zoom from further away?

These are probably useless... I may have to try again with some better lighting.
Moderator, feel free to delete these.
Disco Stu, these are the only internal Pics of the FV-50H, that we have, so we will keep them.
If you manage to take any better ones, please upload those as well. - Moderator

Yamaha DI-01 Distortion, s/n 125115 (date unknown)

Exterior:




Backplate removed:




Overview of component side (IC is AN360 from what I can make out):




Beneath the PCB, showing connections to pots/LED:



No shots of track side, as that would mean desoldering several tightly-packed wires, and I don't fancy that job today.
