Thanks - great work ! I couldn't read the value that you've written on the "Clean Mix" knob (is it 2M ?)- but I did a bit cleaner schematic for you. It's yet another lightly modified Electra. If you can let me know the Clean Mix value I can add it to the schematic. Please check the schematic for errors and let me know if you see any

Looks like B25K to me.

Let's see, we have the YAFF and the YATS. I guess now we have the YAME;
Yet Another Modified Electra.

Is it built well?

it is B25K. thanks for the schematic - looks great. re: build - it is point to point on perf board.

To me it looks more like a modified COT50.
Drop the diodes, add a tone control, combine both and 3 new NG pedals are born.

BTW: Somebody got a clou where I can find the prices for this stuff on the NG-site?

The COT is a modified Electra as well.

There are a couple versions of the Electra schematic on the web, but this one is one of the oldest.
Look familiar ?

Not the NG site, but it has prices.

Here's the updated schematic. Thanks again for the info !

BTW - IIRC, the "Black Fuzz" is basically the same as this minus the 25k "Clean Mix" pot. (IOW, it's basically a stock Electra.

So far my anlalysis for the NG stuff:

Sonic boom = stock LBP-1 with 5088,
Sonic boom + = above with guitar tone control at the output
Black Fuzz = sonic boom with 2 914 clipping diodes at the output.
Black Fuzz custom = BF with switchable guitar tone control at the output
Green Giant = Black Fuzz but circuit with current FB instead of voltage FB
Relic Drive = TS-clone

The rest? Guess what it is cloned/copied from.

BTW: actual prices for the EH LPB-1 are about 50$

So if the the Relic Drive is a TS clone, how does it differ from a TS?

I'd love to know how to mod a TS or better still a Boss SD-1 to RD specs.
