For those of you with these qualifications I need your help if you can find the time.

There is a soundclip at the link below. Use the lofi or hifi link...not the mp3.
It's called "Gear track #7" (forget the other tunes...mostly just experimental crap recorded badly into a cheap soundcard.)

On this particular tune I just need for you guys who've experienced all these OD/Distortion builds to tell me what it sounds like to you... if it reminds you of a pedal already being built and if so what that pedal is, for example..."it sounds like so and so's pedal run through a Peavey Rage158".

It's a cut and paste solo and I'm particulary interested in what the parts that come  after the Wes Montgomery ripoff lick sound like to you. It's 3 stages of distortion punched in...each with a different feel. If it sounds familiar to a pedal someone is building that you know of I'd appreciate your input about it.

Thanks for your help,
Clay

sounds to me like a strat into a tubescreamer into some kind of tube amp... really not sure. its a nice tone, kinda SRV-ish at times, but doesnt really jump at me as being very original.
anywho... i guess that's not the point now is it.
well hope it helps a little

Here's my stab at it.
 An Opamp feedback loop clipping device like the TS, or the SD-1. Could be a TS type OD like that, but with more voicing Via tone controls.
 For the extra kick part, some kinda Jfet booster in front of that.
 Strat or SC pickups and Tube amp.
 Could well be a Line 6, out.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
