I didn't get much chance to try this in the past week, but noodled around a bit today. Here's my initial impressions:
Van Pelt: I think it's supposed to be a JTM45 style overdrive? It adds a nice Marshall flavor to the tone, but with not as much gain as I expected. It only starts to crunch once the gain knob gets to 90% or so. I can see using it as boost or low gain to add just a bit of British touch. It's the first pedal I have based on a mosfet SHO type of circuit--it sounds great in my tube amp not on my SS practice amp (although not many overdrives do).
Disarray: I already built a Captain Crunch, so was wondering if this would be redundant (very close Guvnor circuits, but with different ICs and clipping). My initial impression is I like it better than the CC. The CC has a smoother distortion, while the Disarray has a bit more edginess or grittiness to the overdrive tone.
One little glitch with my Disarray build, which I don't know if is something wrong or part of the design, but whenever I put the toggle to the up position, there's a transient spike of static (like a discharge), which then goes away and then sounds fine. It only happens if I switch it to that position again after a while of not being in that position (if I toggle back and forth it doesn't happen--have to let the charge build up).
My preference is for the middle position. I'm not sure what clipping that option that is, but from the schematic I think it must be through the one with the blue LED?
