A little contribution. The Dirty Boots Overdrive

hey guys, I don't get to put much up here  but I have been playing with this lately so I thought I'd throw it out there for you all to check out.

The Dirty Boots Overdrive

It's a pretty simple circiut.  Maybe good for a second build.  It sounds really good. The buffer on the front really gives it some liveliness.  It is a Classic Rock machine. it lives in the AC/DC crunch zone but hit it with a booster and get some pretty good gain out of it. 

I wanted to do something different for a tone control since I was already losing some of the output due to the clipping diodes so I borrowed the idea from the blend control on the easy face to make a "voice" control.  It really does change the voice somewhat.  I'm sure different value caps could make some interesting sounds.

Have fun.

Nice circuit and I like how you've done the voice control!
