Since The Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard pedals are nearly impossible to find these days, I used to have one so I recently decided to build a clone of one for myself. Some of them were built by JD Sleep of General Guitar Gadgets. After carefully studying the original, I found that the one posted on the GGG web schematic is actually NOT 100% correct. The Bluebeard was based on a 1973 Ram's head muff with a few modifications that are not included in the GGG schematic, including the later versions with the tone bypass switch. I made those modifications to reproduce the Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard pedal, only in a smaller enclosure and I'm calling my version the "Blackbeard".
I actually sold one to Sanford and Sonny (the large box 1590BB version). By popular demand, I decided to offer another one of these 1590B2 versions for sale on Reverb.
This newest version uses the same handmade PCB that is just like the original and comes in a polished and acid etched 1590B2 (which has the same outer dimensions as a 1590B but is 4mm deeper) with a relayed true bypass and with all top jacks
