Heavy distortion projects?!

[HeaD]

Hi, I'm looking for a heavy distortion for PunkRock sound, like boss ds-2 , or marshall jh-1, but more simple to make

Can anyone suggest me some projects?

Looks like it...
 First I look at speaker/cab, then amp when building a system...these two left as 'unknowns' leaves plenty of room for 'general' suggestions, these may or may not be exactly what you want...or
 So ... Diode Clipper to ground for hard clipping and drive that with a booster...
 Mini Booster Driving Liquid Drive
 Fetzer Driving Dist+
 DS-1...my Clone has a DCOA [discrete opamp compression al'a J. Davisson]
 I'd suggest maybe releasing a bit more 'pre-existing' rig info, then choosing a project that's predicted to get you at least close to the 'pocket' and leave room for mods 'n such...
  There's a thousand+ Fuzz projects to consider...something with Jfet's maybe ?//

While checking out the Obsidian, check out the BlackFire.  Another great sounding Heavy Duty pedal from Joe Davidson.  I also really like the Vulcan.  

Doug Hammonds Sweet 16 is a Jfet Mu-Amp based monster with a big notch filter built in.   :twisted:

Not quite... you want this:

Lug 2 of treble pot -> 500k resistor -> lug 3 of volume pot

Lug 2 of volume pot -> bottom right lug of 3PDT

Middle lug in rightmost column of 3PDT goes to output jack tip

Lug 1 of volume pot goes to ground

Hope that helps... If you need a diagram, just lemme know, but try to get it yourself first  :wink:
