thanks!

the new factory pedal has an internal charge pump that runs it at 24 volts, which probably gives it way more headroom and more output. i tried adding a 24v charge pump to mine, but for some stupid reason it didn't work out, so i added a clean Jfet booster to the output instead so i can get it...

very nice! i build the 3 knob version (etched my own pcb for it, added a relayed true bypass and acid etched the enclosure) and i dig it.

i built one a while ago and i really like it too. Here's a couple of pics of my build (i used a waterslide decal on mine too):

thanks for the info. i may have to try those in it, but i do like OPA2134's though.

just finished this one and i like it alot. At unity it still has a little grit but it's mostly clean.

I built one too, I also own the original and my clone sounds similar but is definitely different (it has less gain). I'm guessing it's because of the jfets which i find to be very hard to match to originals Fairfield pedals. here's a pic of my build: and a pic of my original:

I just finished this one, a GCI Bass Brutalist. All the film caps are from Wima and I used the mods contributed by John Snyder of Electrical Audio Experiments. I think that it sounds great: gut shot:

it looks great! congrats!

i also built one with a manufactured PCB and an enclosure with a decal with multiple clearcoats:

it's a modified DOD FX86

my latest build (MASSIVE LOW END!) and i use my personal one as my go to distortion on all of my gigs:

yep.

yes, it's a relayed true bypass by RG Keen. i designed the layout years ago and used to etch the pcbs myself until someone created an Osh Park PCB for it, so now i often use those. The is one resistor that's mislabeled on it though.

that is correct.

it's basically the GGG schematic, but has 9V (100-220uf) filtering, uses 2N5089 transistors, and has a tone bypass. i built mine using Sonny's layout and etched a PCB for it to make it as close to the original as possible. I also used Panasonic 100nf's for the coupling caps like the original too.

I had an original S&S Bluebeard years ago but sold it so i was looking for another one to buy. after not finding one, i decided to make one of my own but in a smaller enclosure with a relayed true bypass. I call my version the "Blackbeard". I had requests to make some for others and Sanford and...

I've always been a huge fan of Sunn amps (mostly the tube models) and I've owned quite few Sunn Coliseums in the past and had another mint one about 8 years ago. Here's pic of it: IMO, it didn't really sound as good a I remembered, lacking low end, so I sold it. About 4 years ago I decided...

looks great!

to complete the entire head, i also made a 370 poweramp in pedal form that runs at line level,That way if i ran into a clean poweramp i could duplicate the whole head's tone:
