well don't leave us hanging

Sorry if this is old news, but I was browsing tayda today and saw two new-to-me colors: white hammer and silver gray hammer (the latter looks much lighter than the silver hammer).

@ragamuffin do you have an audio probe? at this point I don't think you'll solve it without. They're easy to build.

This pedal is basically a clone of the TC Elec Spark Boost. From what I can gather, Iommi was apparently a Spark Boost user (according the TC web site), and somehow Laney got Iommi to endorse their clone of it. It's definitely not an amp simulator, but it is a nice boost pedal.

Which demos? A lot of those are probably using an amp on the edge and using Mach 1 to push it over (i.e. getting gain from the amp by boosting with the mach 1). It's not a high gain drive. Do you have a clip of what you're getting?

did you sub something else in for bc549c? That pinout is different from many 2nXXXX subsitutes and will mess with you (speaking from experience).

From the schematic it's like a big muff with the clipping diodes removed.

I thought this is the right way tho

This answer is too real.

I say a tubescreamer. The most hated pedal that every other pedal is based on. How can you know you don't like tubescreamers unless you have one? It's a rite of passage.

Please share your thesis when done!

Agree with all the stuff you said but this point I'm not sure of. I think most people don't know or care what an Electra distortion is, nor do they shop specifically for one. Lovepedal has a lot of success at selling these circuits at high prices, and from what I gather on mainstream guitar...

Those cost more than the current Lumbergs.

I have been using the non-lumberg ones from sbp, lms and tayda. I have heard mixed reviews of reliability for these, but since I build mostly for myself, I can put up with a faulty jack and replace if it fails (so far none have). If I were selling pedals I'd splurge for the real ones. Sbp and...

I would also bump Neurocyton Preamp as an option for you. It's a jfet drive with a fendery flavor.

So it's safer too. Even more reason to use it.

It just cleans out the paint or straightens out damaged threads. The one I linked is the one I use (#6-32).

I got a tap for this problem. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EOD217S

You gotta build 'em all. Since you're looking for a pushed Princeton, I'd start with the Benson from those 3. The other two are more marshally.
