I wasn't sure how much on topic it was to answer. I completely agree that waste should be avoided, but components can be reused, and there's a little chance there's an intrinsic flaw. I have a guess that these volume issues, at least the volume jump but maybe also the issues with the volume sweep, are caused by the high output impedance of the ocd. sure, you can tack on a buffer like I did at first, or you can make me happy and try this onebmxguitarsbmx wrote: ↑31 Aug 2021, 04:12You should troubleshoot this before moving on.

I'm having some issues (not really issues but features i guess) with my last build, a standard v1.4 ocd from effectlayout: the volume is quite low at noon, and above all, when i switch on the clean boost (mxr microamp) after the OCD there's too much volume jump, even with the mxr potz at zero.
I'll build one with your schematic to solve those issues.
On the subject of tacking on, why use a separate boost when the second stage can be exploited for it, switching to a second fixed or variable gain? It would have the same headroom of the micro amo anyway. I like this kind of efficient choices.
