The diodes don't appear to be connected to anything other than ground.
Also, I think the volume pot is numbered backward?

That is where that little toggle switch comes in... I still have to add in the switch, that's what you are seeing with the diodes..? I will check the vol pot.. Thanks culturejam!
This looks pretty open for some modding! We could add different clipping diodes/LED's for starters?

Ok, don't laugh at my layout... I'm a noob so keep that in mind.. Anybody brave enough to give it a try? I can take sh!t apart and build stuff and I know how this stuff work but drawing it is not my specialty... Just trying to give back a little instead of just taking Hope somebody gets it to work, I love this pedal! Sounds real damn good, the vids don't do it justice! I etched the board and I am gonna bild another one myself so I will let you all know how it goes...

from the vids i saw, it does sound pretty good, like a crunch box with more scoop. (there is a comparison vid with the crunchbox and it sounds very similar).

Nobody is supposed to laugh until they can contribute to the thread, because you tackled this all on your own. Great work.
