I'm honoured.  I don't find the clipping itself to be anything particularly noteworthy, but the ability to soften it, and the wide tonal variation with just a toggle and a pot, help to dial in enough shades that most folks can find something they like.  Crazy flexibility for something so simple.  There are a couple of layouts posted that folks have been kind and motivated enough to draw up.

andreas bro, try this one out. no tone stack, just simple and good sounding overdrive. make the second switch a on/off/on toggle to get three different boosts out of it instead of the second footswitch as i used. very much a cleanish boost, lotta balls. its often compared to a cranked plexi marshall by the sound guys i've worked with, who hate it cuz i can be the loudest thing in the room. ;)
