OK, I figured this one out, it's a "Vertex Steel String", an earlier version of the pedal that didn't have a toggle switch. The components match this diagram exactly

I see it said on another forum that the Six String Singer is a copy of the Booster 2.5 Maybe, but in any case, the two schematics above are only about 85% the same, and Caline pedal is much closer to the Six String Singer schematic. . In fact, they're so different that I'd be surprised if they sounded wholly alike. The topography is very similar, but the component values around the tone control are all fairly different, and elsewhere.

Well, the Vertex version of the Booster 2.5 circuit does use R.G. Keen's noiseless biasing scheme for mu amps, as described here:
http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/m ... dmuamp.htm
And, true, there are some component mods to the tone control and few other places. The manufacturer describes the circuit as follows: "Designed alongside a real Steel String Singer (#001), this 100% analog tone tool will do it all from Overdrive, to Fat Boost, to Compression, to EQ shaping and more. "

Hey,
got one of these the other day mostly because the artwork is adorable and we needed smth low gain ish anyways. The stock circuit was a little bit tame for us and lacked bite, so we bypassed the first stage mu amp source with a 47nF cap and it worked wonders. You can perform this mod without disassembling the pedal, just solder in the capacitor as shown. We tried boosting the second stage too but we didn't like it much, but if you do want to try we'd recommend a higher value cap there, maybe an electrolyte. We marked the 2nd stage mu amp source and nearby jack ground in the pic too.
Maybe this helps someone some day!

I’ve always found this pedal to be dull and lifeless. Really suprised that it’s
a clone of a popular pedal.
