Changes compared to the Electric Mistress V2:

The printing has now scales around the three knobs.

The schematic of the Electric Mistress V3 is identical to the V2 with just one additional capacitor from pin 2 of IC 4 to ground.

The most significant change of the Electric Mistress V3 is the new PCB which now hosts the six parts that had to be soldered to the copper side formerly. Please note that the new PCB has no new number. It's number is still 5200-1-A. Later versions of the Electric Mistress V3 have a solder mask.

Solder mask:

Solder mask is a layer to cover the copper circuit paths of the PCB leaving only the solder points uncovered. It reduces the amount of tin needed to solder.
