welcome

where you get the schemo? save as from your search?
why not redraw that schemo yourself?

oh yeah, always error if you change the extension file for different purpose
(not applicable for same file teritory, ex, you can save jpg file as png or bmp
and beware if you get *.sch file. Maybe not real eagle file, iirc, some routing software also use *.sch too)

But since we're talking about muffs, I wanna know is how the Stomp Underfoot pedals all manage to sound so freaking good? I built a Violet Ram's head that I love but head to head with a Stomp Underfoot it's no contest.

they have combination tasty trannies. Yeah, im jealous too
even my build, socketed, different layout, or different trannies position, sound different

muffventoure is never ending if you still do the journey.

why not make board yourself? adventurous!
have problem? always ask beaners  youre not alone

i see that graphic in IG, awesome
but see the (18) build report here? amazing
and i happy see MLCC nicely sit & blend in that pcb, although i hate 1/8W resistor. Hahaha

Great Job man!

I'm still searching for that sound too...

As far as high gainers go, I've built the BE-OD, BSIABII, Crunchbox, jfet JCM800, Mudflap (triple wreck clone with modified boost), Dr Boogie, Boneyard (dual and single channel), Superjudge, Purple Plexi 800, None More Black, Plexidrive, Sovereign, Big British Distortion, Seventh Heaven, and probably a few more too.

I still haven't quite found anything I like as much as my HT-Dual.  Even the LT-Dual didn't come up to it.  Funnily enough, jamming with the cover band sees me using the Zendrive 90% of the time and the HT-dual stays at home.

A quick rundown of of a couple opinions would go like this (these are just the ones I can recall right now):

- Mudflap:  Insane amounts of dirt.  There is no mid or low gain on this, just slightly less dirt.  Pretty noisy.  I'm going to use it with a gate.
- BE-OD:  Nice, but I think mine suffers from 4148/914s in place of the Bat46s.  I have two more of these to try out.  Didn't think it did low gain that well.  Bit dark too.
- Seventh Heaven:  Cold? Sterile?  Doesn't have the "edge" of other pedals but does have it's own thing going on.  Almost like a high gain blues pedal, if that makes sense...
- Marshalls in a box:  In order of lowest dirt to highest - Superjudge, Plexidrive, Boneyard, Crunchbox.  All these do a nice plexi but you can do metal with the crunchbox...  The Superjudge really needs a buffer in front of it, but kicking it with a boost makes it magical.  The plexidrive is a good allrounder, the Boneyard takes that a little further, but the crunchbox tops these but is a little woody imo.  The BSIAB is similar to the Crunchbox in terms of gain, but does the lower gain thing better and is less woody.
- Purple Plexi800:  had a farty note decay in my build.  Seems to be an issue with the 386 based builds.  Was a bit noisy too.
- Big British Distortion:  A bit bass heavy for my tastes.  Basically a 3 knob jfet marshall layout (gain, tone, vol).
- None More Black:  I really liked this one, but it seemed to have an undercurrent of noise that I'm putting down to the charge pumps I had (I had a really bad run of noisy pedals using charge pumps).  Going to try it again.
- Sovereign:  If you have a single coil in the bridge, you need to try this out.  It ca have a strange spongy attack with humbuckers, but with a tele it really is fantastic.
- Jfet JCM800:  The eq on this doesn't really work that well at all but you can clip a capacitor to fix that.  However, this rendered the High/Low input mod unusable in my build when I couldn't one of the j201s to bias correctly after clipping the cap.  Fixing the cap meant the High/Low inputs worked.
- Dr Boogie:  Pretty similar to the Mudflap/Triplewreck soundwise if different in topology.  I think the Mudflap might have a more cutting distortion though.

What do I like most?  Very hard to say.  I want to try a Dirty Shirley as my tastes are dropping back from the extreme high gain stuff, but I do like the BE-OD.  I quite like the sound of the low input on the jfet JCM800 too.

hell yeah!! another gainiac hunter!
i must admit, at first, i think the post written by J0k3rx, Temol, or Brejna. hahaha. peace man!

what, no tight metal? morpheus? riot? 5150? krank?
and now i know, why your nick is Willybomb. 

i just can't imagine,
when i young and have too much energy and ideas, have bassist like Widi, my life is different than today
God save metal, i know.

holy crap! amazing vero build report again

maybe G2D Morpheus and Tight Metal?

for you who have 3d printer
why not make socket wrench, just copied from real wrench head 

for who love manual handycraft
use real wrench as master then cut a thick plastic

yeah, great topic

for mu-amp, no need to bias and matched. cmiiw

sorry, not for hijack thread
but maybe someone here can give example how to convert Mu-amp style to Jfet opamp, i love that 

ah, this man done that
