It basically stems back to the good old Electra Distortion with an added tone and gain pot but converted to germanium.

Damn you talking dirty to me Reg...

I have a limelight v2 and an ages. They're the best I've found so far. MG is trash imo, shortest turnaround on a pedal I've ever had.

add a bit more gain maybe?

I found setting the Volume at around 3 O'clock and the Boost down to 9 O'clock was kinda where I like it for when you step on it coming off a rhythm/clean sound; Tone stayed right at halfway and having the Drive at 2 O'clock was the sweet spot. Soloing with the LP got me in ballpark Kossoff/Moore tonal territory and nice to know there was plenty more gain and volume should I need it (probably not)

I didn't find that the top switch did too much, couldn't really notice a perceptible difference but the bottom switch is a definite worthy addition. Sounds great off to the right and with the Boost down this is near enough stock BB, but flip it to the left and your tone brightens up a bit as some extra treble is rolled in. Found that quite handy when you're on the neck pickup of an LP

Props to Reg for this one, I've already put my order in with him. Will get this saucy thing out to Rob this afternoon

Initial thoughts:
- sounds like a Bluesbreaker. Smooth, creamy low-medium gain tones. Moore/Clapton/Mayer for days.
- higher gain levels it gets quite an angry, hard-clipping flavour. This is far from my area of expertise though.
- compared to my LA Lady's Blues profile, it has a bit of a softer, more compressed quality. That's a good thing at low volumes with my glassy Deluxe Reverb.
- haven't played around with the switches or boost knob yet
- I can dial in my Strymon Sunset's 2-Stage setting to be largely indistinguishable to Reg's pedal. Given how much of my time I spend on that setting, I'd say that's a good thing.
- More to come during the week.

Would be keen to know if you think the switch’s are useful.
Both to the right is standard BB, either one changes
the tone slightly but maybe not enough to warrant. I’m still unsure. It’s not clipping changes though, ones a resistor swap and the other is adding a capacitor.
