My modded version with the SWTC added to tame some of the highs a bit.

Isn't that Mark Hammer's take on making a low gain overdrive (Klon, Hotcake?)

Did you build that Mark? How is it?

I built one of these a while back - made everything sound flat and 2 dimensional if you get my drift - not one of my favourites

+1
.......or would that be -1?

modman, I don't think it was supposed to be Klon-like which it isn't.
It was supposed to be a blendable light-OD, which it is but, after building it 2 times, + building the version with the TC and trying numerous different op-amps and clipping arrangements, I recycled the components!
