I'm very interested in getting my hands on a Marshall Bluesbreaker V1 pedal, but the originals have become rather pricey!
There are a few nice looking clones on eBay from time to time, but they occasionally go for big money as well, and as I don't know how much i'll actually use this pedal I don't really want to shell out big money...yet...
...which leads me on to the whole point of this thread, has anyone built or just used the BYOC British Overdrive? This is meant to be a Bluesbreaker clone kit, could anyone enlighten me if it uses the correct chip, resistors, other bits etc to make it a decent copy? Does it sound like the 'real thing'? Do I even want the 'real thing' or are the updated eBay clones actually worth going for instead as they reputedly improve on the design? Did it need 'improving'?
I may add that i've never built a pedal before, so this is new territory for me, therefore buying a ready-made one will probably be more likely but there's always a first time...
Any knowledge and insights to this pedal, and the various clones, will be greatly received

General Guitar Gadgets do a BB clone.
I've not had one, but the other 2 or 3 kits I had off them were excellent.

Yeah. Checkout the GGG kits. I prefer them to BYOC, and their BB is good. Or should that be BLSBKR?
