I have a few of these and LOVE them! For those that aren't familiar with them (and from the history I can gather), Coron started off (like many) as an MXR clone company. Then graduated into 'borrowing' from Boss and others...
Other brand names include: Aria, Boston, Daytone, Electra (70s, 80s), Frontline, Gig, Locobox (70s, 80s), Martin (DE-80), Nadine (70s), OmniFex, Powervoice, Redson (70s), Rolling (70s), Solec (70s), Studio Series, Volz (70's pedals), Washburn (80's pedals)
One source has attributed them to Guyatone (-which I believe is incorrect), and another site has attributed them to Evans[Uecks] by way of Aria effects pedals, and a third to Yu-Bros (same as Uecks? -my guess due to a box I saw with a U to the left of the Yu Brother logo).
So they had to be big enough to have enough of a network to rebadge (on demand/per order), in fairly decent quantities...and with very good reliability/production methods to have lasted this long. So I guess Guyatone's not an insane guess from that person's part... it's just that the construction/pcb/pots/etc seems so different to everything I've seen from Guyatone. And not being familiar enough with other 'indie' manufacturers, I'm guessing that Coron had to be the primary brand by Uecks/Evans.
Would love any *confirmed* history/education that helps to sort this out, and even educated speculation, at least as it relates to your cumulative first-hand knowledge, recollections.

I'd especially love to have schems for the following two:
Coron - DC-873 (Stereo Chorus) - Effects Freak
Coron DC-801 Phaser I | Effects Database
However, I'll gladly accept anything anyone has/can find on Coron effects (regardless of label), since I've come up dead empty schematic wise.
Thanks in advance!
