From the vendor
The 2003 Hotcake: the same clipped op-amp core (a TL071, LM741 on older units) with an 8.2V zener-regulated supply, a Presence control in place of the Mid Lift switch, and bistable-relay switching. Bajaman hears it as glassier and more Fender-like than the 1977 version.
Per the drawing, Presence (P2) may be 50K linear on later units, and older units use an LM741.
