Re: Anyone here ever build one of those Dr. Boogie pedals?
I started to build one, but I never finished it. Does that count?
I realized when I was doing this how close the SLO100 preamp and the Dual Rectifier red channel are, though. It's something like 5 components difference. I was going to put the SLO preamp in a box and use the Dr. Boogey as a baseline, and that's when I came to this realization.
Sorry to not help, but that was my experience. I suggest you go browse gaussmarkov.net. He has schematics, PCB layouts, etc. I think you can find everything you need there.

I built one. It was my main distortion for a while. I had probably the funkiest rig at that time... C1-floyd rose into Dr. Boogey into an AC30. cleans nice and chimey, distortion very insane. Unfortunately, its not an easy pedal to build. You will need to really watch your lead dress, and use sheilded cable for the ins/outs, or anything crossing other leads. But as you can see, what a SICK sound.
These videos make me think about building a Mesa cab sim and running that setup as a second guitar sounds for my band's album. I can think of two songs in particular it would sound sick in... but then again I have access to a triple rectifier if I ever needed it. So, as tempted as I am, I have the real thing at my disposal if I really want to.

Metal Muff is not so bad (to me) either.
