Finally I have tried one of Chuck's designs/adaptations! The other two are in my repair pile so soon enough I'll try the rat sorbet and the modded deofol if I can figure out what went wrong lol.
This pedal is a great little pedal with plenty of volume on tap, a large gain range including the juice knob+foot switch (though not brutal metal gain ofc), and takes pedals well.
I used 2n5457's for q1-3 and a mpsa18 for q4. I didn't trial any out so no magic in my choices but I did not need to adapt the circuit any other way to make it work with these. The real secret sauce was the 1000v 1nf capacitor don't tell anyone
As far as preamp pedals that get clean enough to use as a clean channel this is my favorite so far. The mofeta's tone stack is just so bass heavy. The peavey decade preamp pedal is too quiet and thin.
I'd appreciate any other recommendations.
