Our very own Gaussmarkov will be running this project. I think you will find it very exciting!

Excellent distortion project !

Maybe you should consider doing a vero/perf/pcb thing too... about how to comit to building it after you are happy with it? But i suppose the other projects cover that?

that's a great idea.

i would like to follow the tutorial with discussions on this board of mods to the basic breadboard setup (changing the eq or adding a tone stack, subbing a discrete compression op amp for the 741, stiffening the voltage divider, symmetric diode clippers, ...). we could follow that up with a pcb layout of a new all-DIY ICB Overdrive.

then a naming contest.

is the name "ICBM" already taken? what could the "M" stand for?

i know ... in my dreams.

Definately, then its like an advanced beginner project, the kind of things you do a few projects down the line would help you greatly if you did it on your first one!

:)hey I just made this pedal and it was a breeze!!! sounds great and I already started modding it too smooth out the bitey top end!!!. but what great project!!! I am so happy this worked!!!! now I just need to figure out how to read and translate a schematic into a wiring diagram so I can build my own pedals from the web schematics I find every where!! sooooooooooo cool!!!!

Love Curran
