Hello Sailor Effects Kossoff Drive

[freshmex18]

Recently, Hello Sailor Effects Official built one of their own pedals in a YouTube video to show everyone how to build their own.  It's a pretty cool sounding pedal that attempts to emulate Paul Kossoff's guitar tone.  See video here

In the video, he builds it on a tagboard and while he shows a few layout diagrams of the build during the video, they are not complete and he does not have an official schematic or vero layout.  I took it upon myself to draw up both and let him know in the comments.  He was thrilled and asked me to share with the viewers.  I thought I would share with you all also.  It's my first attempt at drawing a schematic so I apologize if there are any errors.  I have included two vero layouts: one that reflects the exact build he made in the video and one with the optional modifications he mentions (larger trimmers to accommodate other transistors and an on/off switch for the tone pot) and I also added a CLR and an LED connection on the board.  

Watch the video for how he adjusts the trimmers.  It's pretty interesting.

I don't have any J113s so I can't officially call it verified but I can verify it works with 2N5484s and J201s.  I also really like it with the tone pot disengaged.

Great job, thanks for sharing!

Finally got around to ordering some J113s.  It sounds great with them in the circuit.  Nice and spanky.  Not as dark as the J201s.  Good little pedal.  Do I sound like Paul Kossoff?  No.  But it will get you closer.  Totally worth building.
