Adding Tone Control to Distortion pedal

[DJPsychic]

Finished my first pedal, an Electra Distortion style circuit. It's a basic 2-knob pedal. (Volume - Gain)

Here's the original. Pic is taken from a step-by-step build, sorry for the added text:




I'm looking into adding a tone knob. Possibly this one?:

I am an absolute beginner (as some of you already know). How would I incorporate this knob with my Electra style pedal?

I'm open to any other suggestions as well, but the muff tone seems to be the easiest.

Thanks

put the tone before the volume...

adding a tone will drop the output though...

test on a breadboard first.

After eq another gain stage (i.e another transistor) is usually added to account for the volume loss, often referred to as a 'recovery stage' As Rob suggests breadboard it first as you may find you already have enough volume even after the addition of a tone pot.

Very cool, I will give that a shot. Thanks dudes!
