newbie builder

I'm not a big fan of fulltone stuff but that's just me. If you want the fat boost, you can find the layout and schematic at generalguitargadets.com because Fuller ripped the design from a DIY guy. He finally started paying royalties because of all the heat he got but the design is still out there so you could pay some DIY guy to build it for you cheap. I'd suggest the Tim pedal by Paul Cochrane. Paul is a designer for heritage amps and knows his stuff- his pedal is amazing. I has treble and bass cut controls, gain, volume controls, a seperate boost section with gain and tone controls plus a pull pot for clipping, and to top it off an FX loop. Less complicated than it sounds. Very easy to use, gives you more of your amp, extremely transparent sounding. If you like the sound of your amp, I think you'd love the pedal. Lots of reviews/info on thegearpage.net And if you have lots of money to burn, check out BJF pedal. Awsome stuff, but pricey and I think you're probably better off with the Tim for this application anyway. Good luck in your OD quest.
