My latest pedal, the Super 57. A Supro 1624 adjusted for JFETs. It's kind of an amazing pedal, I've built ten and already sold all but 3 just by letting people play them. Runs off a 9v supply but internally at 18 volts, and sounds a lot like a supro, same circuit, EQ, and tonestack, lots of sparkle, great midrange, and nice ballsy grit when cranked. Also has a crap ton of volume and can be used as a pretty clean boost. I'm reordering PCBs and should be able to build these to order in the next month or two.
If I come into a little extra coin, I could be interested. It's funny you post this. I'm currently playing my OD-1 that you made for me. Lately I've been playing just a very clean Peavey with the drive in front.
Is it a copy of the Supro circuit. Pre tube? Exact or similar? You say sounds like. Just curious. I'm sure it's cool or you wouldn't muck with it.
It's not exactly the Supro circuit... because I didn't like the exact Supro circuit. Interestingly, because copying a Fender circuit usually sounds pretty much identical to the Fender, but the Supro uses an unusual phase inverter and because of that the actual circuit adapted to JFET doesn't sound quite right. Anyway, this sounds killer and has more of the characteristic of the Supro then I've heard in other pedals. I've compared it to a couple different Supro amps and some pedals like the JHS Superbolt, and I'm more satisfied with this than other pedals (although every supro is different). Anyway, it's a great clean to crunchy pedal and it doesn't sound like most other crunch pedals. I'll post some clips when I get around to making them.
can you get a good blues tone from it? Sounds like it would be perfect for it.
Good blues tone, depending on what you like in a blues tone. It doesn't get very dark, but it's not as bright as something like the Boss Blues Driver (BD-2). It's got a character that immediately reminds you of a Supro, but it works with all of our different tube amps pretty well. I need to post clips, talking about tone is not the same as hearing it.
