I've built this pedal for my gigging and recording needs.
This pedal is very transparent but fat and juice at the same time. Tone colours from Robben Ford and Larry Carlton are there. Second RED channel can produce higher gain tones with more bass and lower mids. Both channels have independent gain and tone controls. Pedal also has global volume and voicing controls. It operates with a standard 9 volt power supply or 9 volt battery which lasts very long time.
Pedal was recorded direct to PC via the Behringer ultra --G cabinet simulator to show the units pure tone without additional colouration by amp, speaker and microphone.
For this demo I've used custom built Telecaser with the Dimarzio virtual blues in the neck and Kent Armstrong's Motherbucker in the bridge position.

Nice! Is D1 driving D2 when they are both on?

D2 knob is just increasing D1’s gain controlled by G2 pot.
There in no gain cascading involved.

Thank you.
It is based on cheap JOYO ULTIMATE DRIVE.
I’ve just modified and rewired the circuit.
Please don’t ask me how!
