Once in a while I see these pedals pop up for sale. They don't seem to be very popular, but they sparked my curiosity. Are these interesting circuit or soundwise?

Browsing through wish list requests i noticed there are no statuses anymore like "in progress" and "completed"? Is it a browser glitch or something?

They are amazing pedals. Even set at low gain, this pedals sustains single notes for days.

J.Mascis plays clean? 😳😳😳 🤣

Fix! Everything on the pedal worked except there was no gain. Tried all types of transistors.. nothing.. Then realized I had 2n5457/58 and a J102 I haven't tried. All work! Lush gain and the "dumble" sound! I soldered in the 5458 as I found it to be the best one. Got a NE5532 ic in it now, but...

Just fixed this one for him. Epic sounding pedal, but to me only for lead playing.

Could be! I understand the superdrive came to be in about 2005/2006 so it may very well be. To be clear, thus ain't mine, but from a friend with a huge boutique/vintage collection. I serviced some of his pedalsn amps and guitars for him, and sometimes I have the privilege to take home some...

This is the prototype for the IV 😉

But you thought this Dutch Overdrive is a beast (in more than one way..) How bout this one?

As I Dutchy, I approve of these names 🤘🏼

I tried again to fix it. A 2n7000, BS170 and BF245 all gave me sound! All the controls works now, volume, tone and gain pot, the 2 switches, but no clipping of the signal. Gonna do a clipping diode check tonight. IC's like Tl072, NE5532 and a OPA2134 all produce sound. I'm getting close! 🤘🏼

Well, only the 2 "spawn" en "prototype" an "preamp" pedals in my box have no serial number. But 1 spawn has a engraved text and signature on the Backplate. The other in a sharpie signature on the inside of the Backplate. Other box i guess then.

Is it the same box and pedals I've got?
