I've recently been looking into amp and pedal circuitry, and i thought it'd be fun to try building an amp. So I found some schematics, bought the components, and started building it. I chose the following circuits: "Thor" distortion pedal from runoffgroove.com (based an a Marshall 100W Super Lead) and "Punch" from diale.org (a nice, 1W clean amp).
I built the Thor circuit and it sounds awesome (demo below), i'm still waiting for some parts for the amp circuit. The distortion will be switchable so it'll be a two channel amp. I also came across another distortion pedal circuit called Dr. Boogie, a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo head emulator, and figured why not kick it up a notch? So as soon as I get the parts for that circuit, I'll build it and install it in the amp, giving the lead channel two modes: classic and modern.
