which Craig Anderton Design would you say this is based on?

looks a lot like the attached project file, or am I just seeing things?

if it is, then the angry troll is the tone leper with variable settings?

I'd say it's a 386-type thing-a-ma-bob.

yeah i know i've seen something like it before?

The "Angry Troll" and the "Tone Leper" are the same except for the "range" (Anger) control. They use
the same PCB as well.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, morecowbell. I appreciate it, yeah it looked like the freq boost with Andertons suggested modifications for greater control. Jeorge is a very enterprising guy, even though he said he wouldn't re-issue old way huge stuff, he just renamed and modded it.

No problem. I recognized the PCB, so I just made a composite photo and they matched.
Thanks for the gut shot !

pcb is modified for the Troll... they are not the same.

It's a linear signal booster.

Same PCB... different circuits.
The PCB has traces cut and such to make the Troll. The same PCB was used with mods on the Sasquatch.

yeah i just compared the pics again and noticed some extra caps on the board for the leper... whats the sasquatch do? same thing just different however paradoxical that it may sound

Tone Leper was a freq (around 800Hz) booster
Angry Troll is a linear signal booster
Sasquatch was a overdrive/Fuzz

I have a tone leper and I love it. I had an angry troll and I didn't like it.

Hi FSB gang! This Stompbox is absolutely new and will be at home till the end of the week! Wanna more guts? If so, tomorrow can make much more pics on a day light!

I'd love to see it... some up close high res photos of both board sides...

I know this sounds stupid, but I always imagined Way Huge would be a zany through-hole-handdrawn-PCB kinda company... Bit surprised by those guts (but not negatively!)

I dont know if they ever were, but they're certainly not going to be now. They're owned by Dunlop and in no way a small company any longer.

It shouldn't matter as long as mr huge works for dunlop and they keep the quality up to his standards
Id like to hear an old and new ap side by side, it would be interesting to see what audible difference the collaudio chips make.

I didnt say anything about the quality of old vs. new, just the manufacturing technique.

topics merged. search first please!

I'm wondering if the top PCB (the one soldered to jack inputs) is not only there for bypass switching (and maybe power handling ?), and the other one -soldered to pots- for the effect in itself. This design is interesting.
