The Thagomizer 2 - A Cornish ST-2 Clone
So as promised in my recent Thagomizer I update, there is indeed a Thagomizer 2, and I'm presenting the prototype build today. The Thagomizer I is a cone of the Colorsound Power Boost - at this point built with all vintage components. The Power Boost is very closely related to the Colorsound Overdriver, which I'd also previously built - though with all modern components. I first became interested in both of these pedals when researching David Gilmour's effects boards. In later years, however, David worked with Pete Cornish to develop a custom integrated pedalboard - which Pete later released as distinct effects pedals in their own right. The ST-2 is a major overhaul of the original Overdriver circuit with different component values (and therefore different voicing), a double buffer like the G-2, and an op amp gain stage tacked on to the end of the circuit. With new copies running over $500 (with a long wait) and used copies starting at about $650 - this is yet another pedal that screams for a good clone!
