Yes, for sure.
But for some reason i like the idea of misusing a digital device for analog dirt ... :mrgreen:
(cf. my latest build)
I only give negative feedback.

That's the right word and I enjoy it too, like in the fairglass.

:(
The sounds in my head don't match the sounds from my amp, I guess that's why I'm here...

You seem to have an extra cut on the component side on the top row (A6) - is this missed off the mirrored side in error?

Hm yeah good eye, I think it's because when i reworked the gain control I didn't update the copper view. Just that though.

Cool, just checking.
What sort of voltage should I be seeing at Q3?

All pretty close to 9v, it really doesn't drop much more than a diode drop. Vbe applies of course.

Just been playing about its this for bass guitar, and I reckon I've got my favourite sounds By changing C14 to 2n2, and C15 to 33n.

What a great little pedal - Kudos to dylan159 for sharing.

Why thank you.
Interesting. The 2n2 has to make it darker. C15 is intended just as dc blocking and lets all frequencies pass, but reducing it makes a permanent high pass which should reduce some flub without ruining output impedance.
Little pedal? How dare you, it's BIGGER :lol:
