- Correct. My totally new "The Original" CryBaby has a way different circuit
- than a friend's CryBaby, which was old when he got it in '82 or '83. His may
- not be "original" either, but it looks more original. Except for a DC input
- jack on my pedal, the box+pedal look very exactly the same inside and out.
- I can't find any sort of company id on his. I may be tracing out the circuits
- on both pedals soon to find out how they each work, and whether anything can
- be done to reduce radio pickup.
