Inspired by the fact that TGP have been slavering over this for some time, and the schematic is now out there (thanks Dan Schunaker)
I have built a clone of the DRV on vero. Not built anything on vero for a long time, this went together ok - make a slight bodge which the keen eyed will see.
I must admit it sounds really good - doesnt have that sag that most normal Rats do. I appreciate some people like that, but I find it a bit bothersome.
Can't beleive the price these tend to go for.
Because I wasnt bothered to save space this has gone in a 1790xx case ;D buffered bypass - apparently its a klon buffer but the parts values dont ring true to me from very distant memory... I could be wrong (!) 1983 because the original is 1981 and I was born in 1983 8)

Nice. You definitely captured the aesthetic of the original.
I wonder if someone will come up with a pedal that combines a RAT, Big Muff, Tubescreamer, and Klon into one transparent fuzz/distortion/overdriver? It will be worth 100 million billion...thousand.
heh, thanks - I was definitely keen to steal the artwork ideas.
The thing with what your describing would appeal to us - a multi-tool large preamp type peadal with 12 knobs.
The TGP overdrive bunch like 4 knobs max ::) ::) 8)
Looks good, I like your pot/vero mounting. Might try that sometime on a build I have space in....

Yeah you need the space to do that. You can also build pedals such as the fuzz factory this way, in a board mounted pcb/vero mash up
