Does anyone ou there have any leads on mods for the smal;l bear tweak o? I just finished it and I'm not overwhelmed by the sound. Maybe I can improve it?

Thanks

I used this when I felt adventurous and started messing with my Tweako:

A good start is to play with the diode arrangement for different flavors of clipping.  I modded my tweako so it now has a different combination of diodes, including an LED (lights up when it clips -- cool!).  A bit smoother sound than "stock".

That circuit is just a single tranny, as I recall, so it won't have a ton of output.

Could try adding an SWTC or other tone control...

Add in a simple booster circuit in front of it?
