ok here's the idea. i work as a backline tech in (when i'm not studying) and want to make some generic pedals to use if a guitar players pedal breaks down or if he just asks "hey do you have..." so i basicly need the classics. and since i like modding myself and will also probably use them myself i like a lot of switches :p

i've got 4 pcb's right now: mxr distortion+, marshall shredmaster, boss sd-1 and proco rat.
i want to put as many different pedals in 4 boxes as possible.

so what i need from you guys is info about wich pedals look like others schematic-wise but sound different. and if you know other mods for one of these, please list them too. these pedals should become great tools for me.

i know:
distortion+ looks like:
-dod250
-coron distortion10
-dod308

sd-1 looks like:
-mxr zw44
-ibanez tubescreamer

proco rat looks like:
-?

shredmaster looks like:
-?

ofcourse it would be cool if a guitar player likes some mods on one of these pedals and asks them to do them on his original version of that pedal :D

oh and i'm not afraid to add some pieces of perf with more circuitry

thanx in advance,
bert

bump, help me build these workhorses ;)

Birt,
Something like:

Proco rat looks like an Ibanez Fatcat?
Proco Rat looks like the drive section if an Ibanez Cyberdrive?

The tone control of an Ibanez Cyberdrive "looks" (in fact, is) like an Ibanez WH10?

The Ibanez OD850 is and Ibanez OD 9 and looks like an Ibanez 60's fuzz (SF5 and FZ 5)?

Or, the Ibanez Metalscreamer looks like a TS10 tubescreamer (and therefore like all tubescreamers) and an Ibanez Metalcharger looks like a SM9 and a SML?

Or,... Almost all analog delays look similar but have their filter values chosen a little different?

Or perhaps, a Fulldrive looks tremendously like a tubescreamer?
Or a Fuzz Factory looks like a Fuzz face with added knobs?

or, in general, the world uses great ideas which therefore live on and get occasional improvements.
More stuff, less fear, less  hassle and less censoring? How 'bout it??. To discuss what YOU want to discuss instead of what others decide for you. It's possible...

But not at diystompboxes.com...... regrettably

basicly that's what i mean. but only for the dist+, rat, ds-1 and shredmaster. i have these pcb's and i want to box em up, with added knobs to change some components or parts of the circuitry to get other (maybe famous) variations of the circuit so if someone asks if i have a tubescreamer with me i can give that person the DS-1 and flip some switches so it's a tubescreamer, or a zw44. if someone asks for the dod250 i can give him the dist+ and flip a switch. the rat would be cool with a switch for ratII and turbo rat and maybe some other pedal.

birt, all that you want is on the net, use Google or AltaVista and you will find what you are looking for....

JHS,

True but,
- When multiple members post info like this a list will grow much faster since they post info which they know already cs having to find out,
- Some info, like the cyberdrive or the 60's fuzz info I posted earlier I know only from one place, being my own site. Exatly those pirces of info are what Birt is trying to get together. An initiative which could be supported instead of suggesting that one could DIY it.

Hmm, couple more :

Dist+ -> Ross Distortion ( Black/Tan )
Marshall Guv'nor MK I -> Marshall Drivemaster/Dan Electro Daddy O overdrive
Dan Electro FabTone -> Dod FX69 Grunge
Daphon E200D overdrive -> Ibanez TS-9
Yamaha OD10M II -> Boss SD-1
Tokai TOD-1 overdrive -> Ibanez TS-9

Got a point here. Bart spent quite some time on the cross references.
