Kind of looks like the "red fuzz" with an extra knob somewhere. Its got the same number of resistors. Got a couple more caps, maybe some power filtering. Got any pic of the trace side?

Red Fuzz is a simplified RAT and has a JFET output buffer.
No Transistor in there.

BTW - Look how close the wire on the centre pin of the footswitch is to shorting with the diagonal jumper below it.
Also the soldering on the Input Jack.

No it's cool.. I hope someone figures out what it is..
It usually happens pretty quickly around here.
It's a simple enough circuit.

It does sound pretty good in the clips, but Burgs is a monster player too.

Yep.. I'd say so.
LM833 and about the right parts count and values.

Burgermans Demo Info wrote: As an introductory offer for a short time, Mark is letting the Shredhead go for a very reasonable US$99.00. The lead time from ordering is 1-2 weeks at the time of writing, although this clip may extend that period somewhat so you should be quick. Order via the contacts listed above.

roni di ba si MarkV yan?

english: paparoni, isn't that markV from the local music forum philmusic.com?

if he's selling this might as well give credit where it's due right? ie. madbean's cb v2.

I have this same exact layout from madbean, :d I know I built about 3 of these, first one's a bust so I made a cleaner pcb, thats two, then one pcb I made and prepopulated as an extra and gave to a friend...

alright, i just gotta say- this is some bullshit. that is not why madbean sells pcbs, and this is the type of shit that gives people reason to talk shit about this place. personally, i don't appreciate it at all.

to the guys defense, he did say it was "modded" and that the mods are underneath the PCB, what the mod is and how it fit there I do not know, I dont really care. I just saw this and I was curious :scratch: about the mod so I replied... :D

Then he should design his own PCB.. Madbean states very clearly that his designs aren't for commercial use.

Can't be much clearer than this:

"Circuits themselves are not copyrighted. Names, logos and artwork (including PCB layouts) can be trademarked and copyrighted.
The PCB's are intended for personal, non-commercial use. What this means is that there is an assumption that you are interested in DIY and building your own pedals and that the PCB's offered here can be utilized to create your own custom work. The PCB's are not intended, and should not be used, to build cheap knock-offs for mass production in an effort to undermine pedal manufacturers for personal profit. "
