Electro-Harmonix V256 Vocoder

Symptom

I had an issue with this pedal, suspecting something wrong with the voltage regulator (actually, the issue was caused by external PSU itself).

Since I was not able to find the schematics, I opened it and decided to do a quick review of the chips.

Description of chips

Once removed all the screws and nuts, be aware the PCB is super-stiff to remove from the casing. It took me 15 minutes at least to do so.

Here are the chips I was able to identify:
