 We originally got our first DD-3 in the 1980s when it first came out.  We then obtained another sometime in the mid-1990s only to give one of these two away around 2008 to a work colleague. Anyway, we still have an original (older Made-in-Japan) DD-3 which means we have the original "sound".

-Candidly, this schematic is a bit more than we're able to work through and determine whether this pedal inverts phase or not. Right now, we're taking it as an article of faith that it doesn't invert phase based on our own past experiences, but memories are known for being inaccurate.

-Without going through the schematic and understanding how phase is changed inside the pedal, the only current method is to put the pedal on an oscilloscope and see the outcome.

 * Knob 1 - "'''E. Level'''": (Effect Level) Turning clockwise, this knob increases the amount of effect (wet) signal. Dry signal always comes through at 100%.
 * Knob 2 - "'''F. Back'''": (Feedback) Fully counter-clockwise, this knob sets the delay for one repeats with additional repeats as knob is turned clockwise.  Fully clockwise causes an infinite cascade of slowly degrading sound.
