heh as a siddde note whilst repairing the 9V battery plug i decided to take a gander on what they had going on in the "slam punk", first side of the 4558 is the input gain stage that cascades into a back to back diode shunt to ground followed by the 2nd half of the 4558, not your standard ibanez TS because the diodes go to ground not in the feedback loop, so it's got the responsiveness of a SD-1 / TS style pedal but a bit more gain it's not too unlike a SD-1 really but the color is a little different i think due to a symetrical clipping instead of asymetric...... all in all it's a useful pedal, nice tone, only down fall really is the plastic case, not because it's plastic or isn't strudy (it actually seems quite rugged for a plastic case) but because it has NO sheilding at all and is noisy as hell, if it were re-housed in a metal case i'd say it's one of my favorite pedals........
