The thread of the "another versions"; moded, improved or not.

[Plexi]

Hi Forum
Another didactic thread (¿)

Let's name the 'original' versions, and then the 'improved'/different (or not) versions.
We can avoid TS 

The idea is not to create discord, or to brand plagiarism: but to see alternatives and variants on the same design.

I start:

Marshall Guv'nor: EQD Talons.
Zvex SHO: EQD Black Eye.

[EBK]

Hmm.  Don't know useful my input will ultimately be to anyone, but here's some more:

Marshall Bluesbreaker: Analogman King of Tone
Marshall Bluesbreaker: JHS Morning Glory
Marshall Bluesbreaker: Madbean 8Ball
Marshall Bluesbreaker: EBK OD Puttanesca (working title...  )

Timmy od isn't another modded Bluesbreaker?

Don't know.  Maybe.  Haven't looked at that one.
There are a lot more Bluesbreakers than I mentioned, but I imagine some are just unmodded clones.
(I'm trying not to hijack your thread... )

Maestro FZ1 - Tone Bender MKI (running on 9V, better sustain)
Tone Bender MK1.5 - Arbiter Fuzz Face (biased slightly colder which greatly improves the heat issues; the MK1.5 on the other hand moved from a 500k to a 100k pot early on, which tightened up the bottom end nicely)

I wouldn't say so: They have double diode pairs and use of opamps in common, but the topology is pretty different.

How "improved" does a fairly standard circuit have to be before it's "different"?

No Timmy is basically a high headroom tubescreamer with a rat tone control and a non-inverting opamp output stage.

I use as example the Black Eye, in some way it improved the inconsistent and abrupt "crackle" knob with a fixed trimpot, and used a standard output volumen.
Maybe its a improved modification for some, and others prefer the classic crackle.

Anyway, I think I misunderstood my idea of the thread: is to know some variations/alternatives of some great designs.
Edited title 

Big Muff (in general) - Way Huge Swollen Pickle MKI and MKII: a lot of variable resistors and clipping option in this last one.
Big Muff (in general) - Super Collider
Big Muff Ram's Head - Pharaoh

Electra Distortion - EQD Speaker Cranker
Electra Distortion - Lovepedal Champ, Woodrow, JTM, COT50

Timmy OD -  Lovepedal 11 (analyzing what you said earlier)

Guv'nor - Lovepedal Superlead

Maybe we could help the search function find this stuff by including certain terms like Improved Clone Update Boutique Version. You know, to make this thread of some kind of archival value? 'Zat the idea?
I've wondered about collecting the Final (Verified) Versions of forumite schematics. Sometimes there's a 30 page thread with 8 different schematics drawn by three different people. Since the older drawings can't be modified, updated, or relabeled after a little time has passed.

Have you checked out effectsdatabase.com?  You can search for any pedal and it gives you a list of related ones.

On a somewhat related note, it always cracks me up when people claim to hate Tubescreamers, but are in complete denial when you point out that they have a derivative of one on their board.

No; thanks for the data!
