Just made another one from "Torchy's" layout ( nice ) after giving one away as an xmas present.
Here's a list of subbed values:
R 1  1M
R 4  390R
C1/C2 220nf
BC549B transistor ( after an hour of trying EVERYTHING I had ! )

Result, great "clean" and "Full" boost up to 2 thirds of gain pot, then HUGE boost after, which makes my Matamp tubes sound glorious !!
Very, happy with it   :D
Those 549B's and 549C's are just great !!

NO !
I think I have a "Bad" component or two, needed one in a hurry so built another LPB1.
My "electrolytic" caps are a bit "old" they my be the culprits !!!
I'll do another with tants, let you know.
