    Can the reissue Small Clone be modded to OG spec with SAD1024A?

    I imagine it might need to be done via a daughterboard or similar means. I only have soldering skills so would value the input of more electrically minded people here.

    Or is there a PCB or perf diagram that I can use to build the pedal from scratch?

    You can mod it to sound exactly like the original version very very easily. Yes, the original 1980s versions used either chip depending on what they had.

    SAD1024 or MN3007 makes no difference and considering the Reticon BBDs are obsolete, over a hundred bucks a piece if you can find them, and break easily, it’s simply not worth doing.

    Also, considering that your asking about it I’ll assume you don’t have the technical knowledge to do it. (I don’t intend to be rude…just saying what is obvious)

    The original version sound isn’t from the chip, but from other parts.

    I made a PDF of how to do it….at your own risk. It’s a simple paint by numbers process.
