Pedalpcb closed circuit booster

[Manuel Ammon]

Last pedal built.
PedalPCB Closed Circuit Booster aka SoloDallas Replica Storm clone. Fantastic sounding 3 knob booster. Angus Young tone in a small box. Up to 30db boost. Limiter pot doesn't effect much the tone, adds just a little bit of compression. It's more like a neutral mid hump boost pedal with a nice little compression. Very dynamic pedal with a perfect cleanup.

What's with the missing caps? What did they do?

That was such important information it was worth saying twice....

Ok I ordered the board after seeing your build and watching some YouTube demos. Really neat sounding pedal!

What does this pedal do in the effects loop? is it worth trying?

It is a booster with an added gain knob. The pedal works perfectly in front of an at the edge of breakup valve amp. Angus Young uses the Replica to get more gain out of his Margalss for lead sounds. It's not a transparent boost to push the volume in the effects loop of an amp. TC Spark Mini would be a good joice.

Great build ! I made of one those, but actually I don't hear any sound difference at all with the Limiter pot ... And I think this pedal bring some noise though...
