I was really struggling with this one, Gus was right .... sometimes trying to get a Jfet circuit
to "bias" correctly from "adjustable drain" point, without knowing IDSS etc etc and basing some source/gate
values on other "working projects" ... just isn't enough !!

Well I finally have a very nice sounding "working" version, though NOT at 18v, it does sound better at 12v than 9v :D

There have been many circuit changes, if anyone is interested PM me and I'll send them to you.

While this does have a decent amount of gain , I would say it's a "saucepan" rather than a "cauldron" of gain  !!

The tone is great though, like a hard driven "bright" amp - quite "spanky" ( speaker spank ) if you get my drift ?
