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 :D

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?

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. :lol:

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.
