UPDATE:

Replaced the original tonestack with the Gallien-Krueger 2000CPL one on my breadboard, and to my eyes it has improved a hundred times.
Cranking Bass, Treble and Lo-Mids and lowering the Hi-Mids to almost zero (or the other way around on those two, my pots aren't marked )  yields a wonderful swedish Death Metal chainsaw tone, and the circuit takes TS-ish overdrives in front surprisingly well.

I only tested it with my homemade Class D amp and a 2x12 Celestion V30 open cab, I'd like to test it through the FXret of my Engl E650, but it'll have to wait...

I'll tinker and tweak a bit more to improve the noise and volume and try to do a vero anytime soon if anyone is interested...
