Post Patch of Shades
Hello all, Hope all is well in Stickworld.
I recently acquired a Patch of Shades pedal, and I have a few questions for the universe.

the High Q switch seems to work, I do not see a difference in the dbl wah switch or the wah off switch. Are there any patch of shades users that can tell me what they do?

I repaired the pressure pad and the wah works great.
Unfortunately, the brochure I have is a different version than mine, I do not have aux jack, it is there, but it is painted over and called return on the dir loop, and I have 4 jacks on the right side, one that says volume which works as a volume pedal out no issues there.

I am guessing I have an earlier or later version of the unit, the one i have has the printed circuit board on the pressure pad, I think he got away from that later on. I haven't started testing the circuits yet, but was hoping to get some guidance or information.
ie should the wah off disable the pedal and double wah doesn't seem to make a difference, is it my ears? Should I start testing the IC's? Everything else seems to work good and the unit does not seem to be modified. At this point it's a nice wah with a high Q setting which is subtle, I will test the loop circuits with other effects soon ..

If anyone has any knowledge and they would like to share it, it would be awesome.
Thanks.

I cleaned up and played the one Steve Osburn owns, I recall having to hook up two other effects pedals to see what everything did. Try hooking some other pedals and see if that gets those switches working.

thanks. I have been through that link.
I was able to try both loops, wah and direct and they both work fine. the wah off and double wah do not seem to work although the lights come on. I guess i will be tracing out the circuits.
thanks again .

You're welcome. https://sb.smugmug.com/Music/Videos/i-H5ttfCQ is a link to a gallery on my site where I took a pic of Oz's Patch Of Shades and did two videos of me playing it a good many years ago.
