The layout on JD's site for the rodent/rat build ends up having the Distortion pot adding gain as you roll the pot CCW,but the Filter and Volume controls work like on most pedals when you go CW...Is this a typo error on the GGG layout?

Should be like this right...

Filter....CCW adds highs
Distortion....CW adds more distortion

Volume...CW adds volume

I gots to flip flop some pot wires I guess!  :roll:  8)

I did some of Jack Ormands mods to mine(Bought his info book) and it sounds great...

For some people, flipping the leads around and having the control work opposite to what you'd normally encounter provides a taper and selectivity that some ears may prefer.  FWIW, the Presence control on the old Fender Bassman amps works "opposite" as well, increasing highs and distortion as you turn it CCW.

Mr "DELUXER" having "bought" the E-book, you probably shouldn't be
quoting most of the "mods" in your post .... !    :roll:   DUH !!

Erm, I wasn't having a personal "dig" at you, and the "useful information" was to
NOT post AMZ's mod info, which I'm sure Jack would rather sell ( quite cheaply IMHO ) than have posted for free, as it's not "yours" because you
paid 10 bucks, its just for you to read/use for that fee.
If he wanted everyone to have it and post it, he wouldn't be charging a small fee for it  eh ?

I think we're clear now ?

It's called "respecting other stompbox members help/rights"
