Title: Codzilla!
Post by: Guitarmageddon on June 24, 2013, 01:53:13 AM
It comes from Japan and is a real beast.  ;D
My take on the Sobbat Blues Driver BD-01.

It's got a really powerful two-band eq and tons of gain and volume.
Next time I build one I'll pay a bit more attention to layout and lead dress, I wound up having to shield the input and move a few wires around to prevent any Ned Beatty action at the extremely high volume this thing is capable of.
I added an on/off/on clipping switch for Bs170s/leds/asym. The original is si and buffered bypass too. The buffer sounds good, but I went TB here.

Layout is from tagboard, and I highly recommend giving it a shot. 8)

Squeal! (Love the Ned Beatty reference)

Another beauty. I don't know how I've not seen this circuit on Mark's site, I follow it religiously.
