Hey everyone!
I just finished up a Harmonic Jerkulator build, from Escobedo's wonderful schematic. I really like the sound of this pedal, but that volume control is near useless (you can just as easily change the volume on your guitar/synth for the same effect). Does anyone have any ideas on making the volume control on this pedal a little more like a traditional volume control? I suspect it will also help tame some of the crazy loudness on this thing.
Any thoughts are welcome!
Making Harmonic Percolator/Jerkulator Volume More Useable

Information
The original version has the germanium clipping diodes on the output that limit the maximum volume drastically. I can imagine without the diodes it would be much louder.
