Hi, I built a purple plexi 800 clone for a friend. I tested it on about three different amps and it sounded like it should. However, on my friend's Fender ultimate chorus amp it sounds like a fuzz.  :( Is this problem possible to fix?

Yeah, just redo all the preamp and power sections in tube form... :icon_lol:

Seriously, now, maybe the pedal is just running the preamp too hot.
...collectors together and emitter to base? You're such a darling...

Which what I was thinking. Solid state amps don't always respond well to hot signals (it is a solid state design right?). See what happens if you lower the gain down to zero-ish and keep level at unity. Does it sound like a normal guitar then?
