now, im not 100% sure, but I think that's just two clean boosters in a row. If thats not exactly right, you'll get close.

This is not exactly what I use for a boost, but it should do the trick.

click the schem. link

be prepared to swap some resistors out though, I have two very different sounding 2n5088 transistors in my workshop. One for "shit" and one for "clean" same name, 2 different suppliers. For the record, the "clean" 5088s come from Pedal Parts PLus.

Anyway, then just put two of them in a row! then you have an over drive, or two boosters ZOMG!

It is. It is two Super Hard On circuits, in series, with a master volume to control the second boost. The Super Hard On has a different sound than a typical clean boost pedal, though, so you can't just stack any random clean boosts and expect to get the Super Duper sound.

Hey,

If your still after a layout there is a vero layout here...

Note that C5 is orientated incorrectly on the layout though so you have to swap it's polarity the other way round, simple enough.

Cheers,

Scruffie.

Yeah, i always thought the super hard on was more of a compressor. None the less, it makes everything sound better, all the time. Probably my most used pedal in my rig. :)
I've got a fuzzbox and i'm not afraid to use it
