Thank you Michael and Sheepy for making this available to the masses.
I was excited to give this a go, because I've never built a “Blues Breaker” style pedal. Since I've built every other classic circuit (TS, Rat, Muff, etc,) I had to give it a try. Easy build. Slightly higher gain than many overdrives. With humbuckers, there's always some fuzz even with gain down. But I find that a useful setting. With gain cranked, you could mistake this for a distortion pedal. I find gain at both extremes quite useful. This will be handy for recording doubled parts at different settings to blend in multitracking. Pairs well with Kick Out The Jams.
I love the faceplate method of labeling. It looks great with minimal effort!
Ever-important gut shot:
