Poltava effect pedal

This Poltava was made in 1976 in USSR. It is a Fuzz/Wah/Tremolo type pedal. There's an Overdrive, Wah-wah and Tremolo functions and controls. You can see fuzz on/off knob on the low right. The tremolo is switched on when you press pedal to the max. One of the knobs regulates the speed of tremolo. The pedal runs off 9V batteries - as usual. In/out jacks are DIN5 five-pin Soviet plugs, just like on all the Soviet guitars and effects. The location of in and out sockets is very clever - as soon as Soviet pedals tend to break, you can always touch the jack with your foot, even while using wah, in case the contact goes away and there's no sound.

The pedals below are from 1980 and they were modified to suit regular guitar jacks.
