Have not figured out what I will call this other than awesome sounding. I have wanted a 1590B version of this ever since I did a vero clone of the original in a 1590BB enclosure. I love the sound of this thing, its just a nice usable dirt pedal. I stuck with the original 2N5088 transistors. I tried a few of them and chose lower gain ones around 320 Hfe since they were a lot "smoother" sounding than the higher gain (500+ Hfe) ones I had. This is one for my pedal board and will take pleasure in stomping on it. Labels are C=Clipping B=Boost V=Volume G=Gain.

Beautiful, inside and out! That lettering is made with what? Stamps? I love it!
The LaVache is a great dirt pedal :)
I highly recommend hunting up a 2n3565 if you can!
Nice work Cody, really clean in and out!
Thanks a lot guys.

They are stamps. I used some letter stamp kit I found at joann's fabrics and I use StazOn ink pads.

Funny, I was just looking through my transistor stash and I have these that I could not read the markings on but my tester says they are SI NPN.. Ill have to loo at the specs and maybe I will luck out.

Just curious, what guitar /amp are you using with it?
I think I have a metric crap ton of 2N3565 at my work!!!!
