I have no way to record clips, sorry 

I am a Senior Supply Chain Technologist ( although I come from an IT background ) for a 2 billion $ Tire Retail company.  Mostly I do a LOT of data analysis in Excel.


Other than being a computer geek I play golf, guitar, and enjoy tinkering around with amps and pedal builds. I have zero training or experience in electronics and just feel lucky that I have not electrocuted myself yet.  

So I guess my answer would be no I did not "leave off the LED clipping option" , since I soldered the two LEDs on the PCB, which light up pretty nicely when selected with the clip switch selector.

There are 2 3mm LEDs on the pcb (D1 and D2) to provide the LED clipping.   Would these be the ones you are referring to ?

So did you leave off the LED clipping option?

Not sure what you mean ?  I hooked up the switch the enables LED, Diode, or none clipping. I connected the wires from the bottom of the board.

Is there another mod ?  

I've built the General Guitar Gadget and GuitarPCB versions. Of the three I like this one the best.  I think the tone is a little less dark and the clipping options provide more versatility.  I am still new at this so I do not have the experience of many here,  but so far this is my favorite.

That stick guy is me.....

Thanks for clearing that up.  I'm still trying to learn the different components

The characters are chinese for Rat. ( According to Google anyway )

Thank for the kind words.  Not sure where the green cap came from,  I think it came in a grab bag from Caps n' Such.  The yellow 3n3, knobs, switch and switch cap came from https://www.mammothelectronics.com/

Can a burr brown OPA2134A be used in this circuit ?   Anyone ever try one ?

Beautiful build! What do you usE software wise?

I use Photoshop Elements 9.  I've only been at it a few months and it is still a struggle at times, but I love the results.

I never get tired of building Rat clones and the Slow Loris is one of the best sounding yet.  I tried both an LM308N and a OP07.  The OP07 sounded better to me so I left it in, go figure
