First off Relatively easy build I adapted mine for the radio shack 276-1598 ic board. Sounds really good although ther isn't much transition between clean and Overdrive, however the sounds I have gotten out of it so far are sweet, the cleaner end is just sparkling and brilkliant, and when you hit the grit is such a nice smooth almost tubeliike sound. This also a very full range pedal.
I find myself wondering about decreasing the gain pot to a 500k, and perhaps adding one more stage from the chip into the mix for a more and less approach. I would love to have just a bit more output and drive.
