Anyone have any experience with this circuit?  It's discontinued so Morley has the schem posted on their site.  Looks like a fairly simple op amp+ diode clippers circuit with buffered bypass.

Anyone know whether or not it's worth the effort to build?  Is the sound good, or at least modable to good? Just curious.

The schematic looks interesting, don't know what it sounds like. It uses an inverting opamp with clippers in the feedback loop and a Big Muff style tone stack so it's not just a TS or Dist + clone. Probably worth breadboarding.

Interesting gain control as well. R.G's mentioned that method a few times but I've never seen it in a pedal before.
