Just wanted to share the mods I did to the GGG Bluesbreaker that I built today.  I built it up and plugged it in and didn't care for the tone (too thin and too little gain).  So I changed a couple of things and ended up getting exactly what I wanted.  It doesn't sound quite like a Bluesbreaker but I think it's a change for the better.  It's still not a high gain pedal by a long shot but it's quite warm and creamy sounding.  Anyway, here are my mods (refer to General Guitar Gadgets layout):


Volume pot- 100kb
Tone pot- 20kb (didn't have a 25k)
Gain pot- 250kb
C4- 51pf (didn't have a 47pf)
D4- Replace with a jumper wire
D2, D3, D5- 3mm red LED
R9- 10k
U1- RC4559P


There you go, thought I'd share since I've seen that others had the same problem I had.
