Nice catch!
The Pots have the same values as the OCD.
The Switch adds another resistor in parallel.
They Both use TL082.

Re: Dual fuzz wiring idea

I Believe you meant B3 to A1 cause bypassing the effect now will cause the input of the guitar to be grounded,
also C3 on E$2 needs to be output 2.

Re: RnFR - Naga Fuzz/Drive

Great Sound!
can you explain why you choose 1N34A in the power input instead of Schottky or silicon? lower voltage drop?
