Meanwhile, here is the schematic.  More info over the weekend.....

Thanks KIM!

I suppose I could etch one of these boards...if I could see a size relationship.

Any chance that you have one laying around,
that you could photograph?

Stan said he would bring it over sometime today.  I'll give it a good documentation when it arrives.  :thumb-up:

Ah, sorry....the owner kept forgetting to bring it to Band rehearsal, or to otherwise drop it off at my place.   :(
I'll see him tonite and hopefully get it from him then.

And I have the pedal now in my possession.  Stay tuned....   :thumb-up:

Here we are.
Now, this may or may not be the original pedal for the Viper.  It appears to use a different housing, and has a mysterious label on it that suggests that it is some kind of prototype.   :dunno:  Strange, but this was the pedal that came with the Viper when I first got it; it works and does what it is supposed to.  Is it a factory ADA prototype?  Something that someone else came up with using leftover/spare parts?  I have no answers on any of that.  Here are the pics.

Looks like a proto box...(perhaps a reconfigured midi jobby) and a Rev 3 board. 
Most interesting.

I still see some ADA footswitches in pawn shops...once in a while.

Which footswitch do you mean, ADA made many different ones?

[guitardude57]

I have seen a couple that had the 4 switch buttons in a row, before.  But don't recall for which models. 

I had back in the day, a rack mount 4 effects unit, (TFX4  Chorus, flange, doubler, and echo) that had a TRS connection that I changed to an XLR.  I once had set up for a gig, and it was on, unbeknownst to me... when I plugged in the footswitch.  That took out a dozen chips...lol  So changed the rack unit to XLR, to prevent the gross short out, again.
I don't know what happened to that unit, or the footswitch.
