Hi everyone. I used to have an original Simble pedal but there is a new variant which apparently has more clarity and less flubbiness.
Has anyone had a look at the new variant to figure out if its easy to mod the current pedalPCB project to similar values to the new MKII version?

Can you post some pics of the PCB?
 
Also, which Simble? There some confusion with the Simble name. It was offered by Mad Professor (I think) but was not designed by Bjorn Juhls.
It's a nice sounding Zen Drive variant. But the name "Simble" was re-purposed by Bjorn with his own company and I think that was more of a boost than an overdrive. (I could be wrong on all accounts, I often am:)
 
Ok this is creepy, I was doing a quick Google search for the Simble and my own post and demo came up....... :LOL:

DEMO Thread 'Symbolic Overdrive (Mad Professor Simble Overdrive)'

Continuing on my quest to build all the Bjorn Juhls circuits I can find, I found out after I ordered the board that the Mad Professor Simble Overdrive was not a Juhl's design but rather was designed by another Finnish designer named Lassi Ukkonen for Mad Professor. Apparently there was some trademark issues as Juhl's is known as the "Mad Professor" and they were marketing a design that he had nothing to do with. It was discontinued by MP and the name "Simble" has been re-purposed for a boost pedal (presumably designed by Bjorn).

Anyway, looking at the schematic of this pedal it's evident...

There was the Simble, the Simble Predriver (which I think is the boost, maybe?) then the Twimble that appears to be a Simble + Predriver in one.

Now there is the Simble MKII. It looks like a new revision of the original overdrive... maybe.
