 Thank you madbean. I didn't mean to sound rude btw, I really appreciate what you've done here. I just don't particularly want the diode options in this pedal. I'll probably keep the gain pot the way you have it in the kingslayer.

I get that you guys like the kingslayer.  I was just trying to make sure I wasn't missing anything on the schematic.  With the exception of the power supply (which I'll agree is an improvement), these four diodes, one resistor, and two caps (in the tone section) are the only differences between the Kingslayer and the Klon.  There's no need to use another board, especially considering I already have this one.

I have a kingslayer board, and I'd like to build it up as close to the original as possible.  I also happen so hate pedals with toggle switches on them (don't ask; I'm weird).  This means I don't want the OD and Clip switches on my Kingslayer.  I'm pretty sure I know how to execute this, but I just want someone to make sure I'm thinking straight.

Looking at the Kingslayer schematic, to eliminate the Clip switch, I would simply jumper pads 1 and 2 on the switch and install only diodes 4 and 5.

To eliminate the OD switch, I know I can omit the switch and diodes 2 and 3, but looking at the Klon schem on FSB it appears the feedback resistor around this opamp was 422k rather than the 1M in the Kingslayer.  I guess this gives the Kingslayer slightly more gain in this stage than the original Klon (but then the Kingslayer has the soft clippers).  

What would you do, besides chastise me for not including madbean's "improvements?"
