Latest schem for the stupid box?

RDV, how would you describe the stupid box?

Wow, well guess I can post here from search tool now....odd.

Anyway, I breadboarded the Stupid Box and I really like it! Very good for the more "hardcore" punkrock distortion I'm looking for. One of the reasons I like this type of distortion is that it makes the sound of the pick scratching the strings when palm-muting more present (as opposed to almost inaudible with a fuzz type distortion, or smothered by the bass).
Was really quick and simple to put together. Right now I'm playing with the circuit a little to figure out what I like best. I used a TL082 and 1N4384 diodes (I tried 1N4004 and got pretty much the same sound). I changed the gain pot to 500k, input cap to .01uf, and replaced the 10k pot with a fixed resistor, since it was too subtle for me (it kind of acted like a pre-volume pot...).
I do get some white-noise in the background, but I'm assuming it's just my changes to the circuit and my guitar/environment just being noisy. I'm gonna try a TL072 when I get one.

Thnx Mr. marshall
