help identifying a pedal

Post by JoshBernstein »

Hi all,
I was window shopping on reverb.com the other day, and i came across someone else's diy distortion pedal build. It was only 30 bucks, so i said "what the hell" and bought it, figuring if it sounded bad i could at least use it for parts. It sounds pretty good, but i have no idea what company produced the pcb, or what the circuit is based on. It seems to be a double distortion, with a master volume, and it sounds kind of jtm45 ish. Looks kind of like its been based of a zvex pedal, and the pcb says "super trooper". I havent been able to find any information on it, just these 2 pics somebody posted on a forum (links below). I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge on this pedal or the circuit. Ill post pics of the pcb and the traces in a couple of hours, but for now ive just got these:

That looks like a zvex super duper 2-in-1. Basically two super hard on boosters: one cascaded into the other. I like the copy I made. Be careful with the gain and volume. Nothing too exciting circuit-wise. Good luck.
