I just ran into this and wondered, is this possible?
http://www.lovepedal.com/BBB.htm
Can it really do tonebender, fuzzface, rangemaster, distortion, overdrive, clean boost, flat boost, even tweed amps are in this box.
are you kidding me?
This box with 3 knobs is capable of all these sounds?
The last statement he has on it is classic
"This IS one of the very few designs that can pull off anything from MKII distortion, blistering rangemaster action to fuzzface heaven and BEYOND!"
what the hell is this thing?

Like zvex with the SHO, I think Sean gets a TON of use out of the COT50 circuit. I'm almost positive that all of his drive/boost pedals (other than the eternity, of course) are based on it.

IIRC, its based on a tweaked fuzz face, and one of the pots is a bias pot....but I may be mistaken.

what kind of trannies would be stable enough to actually sound good in this kind of situation?

If my informations are correct (and I think so!), the blend-pot is ... *drum roll* a rip-off of Joe Gagans input-capacitor-mod in the easy face. Blending between two caps! Cool idea and works very well but ... it won't blend between a Range, Face and Tonebender ... Sorry Sean
the other two pots are, as you guessed correct, fuzz & volume. There's nothing more to talk about, only a standard Ge-Fuzz. Wow. I mean, really wow. Like ... wow.

I'd rather get a Jacques Mercer Box. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he's ripping off.

found this on a old hard-disk... Black Beauty Balance from lovepedal...
pls. note that C1 and C2 should be "switched", otherwise the blend-knob won`t work....

Thanks Kusi..
I've owned a couple of these in the past.. it's essentially the same as the Dragon, White Dragon, Ezekiel, etc.
Same old Lovepedal routine of making a slight tweak to the same circuit, and calling it a new name to confuse everyone and generate sales... and also of making out that it's something it's not.
It's a high gain Fuzz Face with a Blend on the Input Cap.
Clean or Flat Boost ??
