Ibanez Sonic Distortion

[jsleep]

I finally got around to updating the project for this on the General Guitar Gadgets site.  I have an Ibanez SD9 unit and so I got the values corrected to match the real one.  The schematic is now accurate to my unit and my home-built one sounds just about _exactly_ the same as the old Ibanez.  Mine doesn't have the output buffer, but it doesn't seem to matter much.  Some posters have argued that C10 and R18 should be different values, but the sound is SO close right now, I don't think those values are "wrong".  They are sort of adapted since the buffer is missing.  It's always awesome to A/B a home-built pedal with an original and have them sound so much the same (if and when you are TRYING to do that).  I'm posting so that anyone who has built one in the past can check back with the schematic and layout and update your build if you're interested.

We take a lot of criticism for the errors on the site. I don't like schematic errors any more than anyone else!  We will fix any and all errors on the site as soon as we can IF you let us know.  Unfortunately we can't keep up with every forum thread and people usually don't report errors by email (I don't know why).  I'm human so I make mistakes, probably more that I should :-)
