I NEED a pedal that emulates VHT/Fryette sound. Which PPCB could be?

[cris_mas]

Well, there. turns out I have a Fractal that can do the trick, but the more I play digital the more I feel like there's something missing. I plugged my old setup (PPCB Dirty Sanchez, C2C Particle Accelerator, Engl Cabloader) and was way way happier playing with that though headphones, so I'm thinking in swapping back to that. The thing is I've found that this amp model (Fryette Deliverance) is a sound I feel happy to play with and accommodates to what I do musically. Problem is it costs $3500 US dollars XD and even the Synergy module is sold out.
Do we have any pedal that can recreate that tone or close, in the Pedal Pcb world? I know the deliverance is basically a Marshall on steroids, close to Friedman, but somewhat deeper, meaner but tight bass, less treble, lots of mids and a nice and chunky high gain. Considering that the C2C is more like a "white canvas" preamp, I guess I need that the distortion pedal is the one that makes the "color" of the tone I'm aiming for.
I will happily accept suggestions, but I also will post some models I think could do the trick:

-MI Audio Tube Zone
-Diezel
-Any Revv? (I've revisited the G3 and didn't enjoyed it's tone.)
-A mysterious pcb I've seen from @szukalski (do you have any for sale? )
-DRBoogie? (had that in the past, never liked it).

I'm preparing my soldering iron!

I think the AMT VT2 is designed to create that tone.

Have you tried PPCB Valhalla? It's a Diezel VH4.

Thermionic Distortion - PedalPCB.com

Inspired by the Friedman BE-OD, the Thermionic Distortion provides searing British-flavored high gain tones through any amp. Pedalboard friendly design, 125B footprint with top-mounted jacks.

with a good boost in front this will probably get close.

FYI - this is a very good boost/drive:

Considering that the C2C

C2CE isn't a bad idea either

Thanks guys, and yes. I Know the AMT, i've used some of their pres and some of them are good. We have a store on clearance selling that one actually, so i may go that route. But i wanted to burn some lead and my fingers XD.
I was considering the valhalla, looks interesting.
The Wrecking ball from C2C sounded like an option as well. Might check it when is available again. I was avoiding another tube preamp because of power management tho,but i will think about it.

PD: i know the Friedman, i had built 2 already, the Dirty Sanchez and the Complex, both great,but they aren't thick enough

I gave my G3 to a friend. I liked it, but the G4 was much more my speed. I’m down with all the shades of gain on the milder side, but when it comes to excessive and thicc distortion I think the G4 does it.

Check out Paul Ruby's offerings for the AMT versions https://www.pcbway.com/project/member/?bmbno=FA3E9302-C561-44 You can get just the drive section or the full clean/drive/cab sim versions

The Kraken perhaps?

 

[Paradox916]

I’m kind of a tube snob but out of all the solid state preamp pedals I have built the Valhalla is definitely one of the more convincing ones I have built, the Kraken I would shy away from although it does fit the bill for this and it the right situation sounds good but the charge pump in that circuit can be problematic.

 

[rossbalch]

Diezel and VHT sort of share a similar sound in my opinion, that dry percussive Marshall on 11 type of thing. I think the Valhalla is a good shout.

 

[cris_mas]

Thanks guys, i'll keep an eye on the Diezel, seems like THE way to go (at least in PPCB alternatives).
I'll check what's on Aion effects as well

 

[szukalski]

I have a PCB of a VHT Deliverance based on a schematic I found (with a layout by @temol ?).

I’m on holiday right now but I think I still have a few spare ones around. I’m in Europe though so postage would suck.

 

[szukalski]

This was the schematic I used. My layout is different though

thanks! i'n not in a hurry, so we can chat when you can be available. I'll check the link to pcb way as well

 

[cris_mas]

well, a pcb came to my door today. As soon as i have more fund to get components i'll put this bad boy to the test. Thanks again forum!

I'm a huge Helmet (Aftertaste album) fan and know he uses the Pitbull, but wasn't sure who used the deliverance and found this. YES! Caught them 20+ years ago and it appears Ken's rig has grown since. Ha!
