Title: I don't know what I did, but I like it

What I do think is that I burnt out an LED in the clipping section, but it sounds pretty cool to me

Sound cool as!  Sort of..."fluffy", thick fuzz.

When you say 'burnt out led' do you mean like...blown?  If so, wouldnt that be a short?  My LED's are looking at me nervously :D

If they are damaged it would have been from too much heat from the soldering iron.
I decided to build a Dynamic Overhype Son of Screamer style on a Madbean Neutrino (Lovepedal Eternity) board  :icon_mrgreen:. I messed up the placement of the diodes the first time. I remember having to resolder the LED's together at one point too. So they got the iron on 4 separate occasions. It's the only reason I can think of for this.
