      One is made by Guitar Center. Some people say they hear a difference but it's disputed if there actually was a change to the circuit.

        Might be a chip change. One probably uses a jrc4558 or whatever it is and other probably uses a better one.

          I guess the Red version is GC only and they have one for a good price. So any of you smart guys think there is any reason to think it is not as good? I guess some one named Sean fron L.pedal says it is closer to "Alf's" original design, more overdrive but that is the only difference. Apparently.

              just looked up some stuff. There may be a change in the IC and a change in the clipping diodes (no germanium). Probably won't affect much; it's an awesome dirt pedal. I have a clone from guitarpcb, and now they're selling a Zenith Drive with a bunch of sockets instead of soldered in stuff so it's moddable.

                Thanks guys,
                Dustin from Lovepedal says it is an improvement for more gain, original specs before Robben Ford is my guess. Appreciate your input.

                  More gain = silicon clipping diodes for sure then.

                        yea, I was hoping the red version would stanch the bleeding better or something.

                          O.K. Empty Pockets, I can take a hint,
                          I thought this forum was for just these kinds of questions, and I have read long threads on questions just like this. If I don't know something about a pedal, I am supposed to feel free to ask in this forum. It doesn't seem any funnier than many pedal questions. I am quite interested in buying this pedal and I have a small window for when I can find transportation to where it is sold, hence my "emergency" title. So if your intent was to belittle me or make fun of me, it worked. I now feel embarrassed, stupid and unwelcome.
                          However, I like this forum as there are many helpful people on it, whose opinions I value. Where else can I ask this sort of question? This is the most informed forum I've found.
                          So thanks to you other folks, I found the info I needed and Jon/Agileguy/superpete got it right on. Extra gain, same for all other specs.
                          Thanks,
                          Steve B.

                            Steve,

                            Please lighten up. I play music and buy pedals and post on forums for fun. None of this is personal. I don't know you, I don't hate you, I'm not picking on you. I probably posted that in 2 minutes while I was on the toilet and then went back to my actual life. I definitely didn't expect any kind of emotional reaction besides a slight chuckle before moving to the next thread.

                            Peace, Love, Satan, and Understanding,
                            Some Guy on the Internet You Don't Need to Worry About

                              Cool,
                              Fair enough. I should have said "guitar pedal issue-need quick answer". Plus my skin won't thicken up, no matter what I do, and I think too much. Thanks for the nice words.
                              In my old job (20 years can make some jobs old) we would say "lens emergency, or frame temple emergency". I worked in a hospital setting making glasses, so if you just said "emergency" 6 people would jump!
