 TC Sustain/ParaEQ schematic?
I'm looking for any TC Electronic stomp box schematics I can find, especially one for the Sustain + Parametric Equalizer. I have one of these which has never worked, and no one around here even knows how it should behave when it is working. Thanks in advance.

Rich,  
I have worked on plenty of TC boxes and yours is no different. I have a side business which I repair pedals for music stores here in the Houston area and also for AnalogMike. I would be glag to look at it or maybe tell me what is wrong and we can go from there. thanks Christian

I have that one, as well as most of the TC series. I warn you, though, most of them and the sustan/EQ especially are #@!$!@$# to work on. I'm still trying to get one to work correctly, and I'm NOT a novice at this.

Hey RG,  
The pedal you are working on, is it a chorus TC pedal? I worked on one about a year ago and it took me about 6 months to fix it. I worked on it off and on, but I finally got it real close to spec. You notice I said real close. Anyway, If I can help, let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but no, it's a Sustain/Parametric, not a chorus. It has a funny bounce in gain in the sustain at some levels of input voltage. I think this is a common problem, as every one I've heard (three total now) has the same sound. Maybe it's even supposed to sound that way, but I don't think anything called a sustain really ought to do it.
