So without any changes other than playing it every day, the Cardinal is back to being a hybrid tremolo/overdrive. It was clean - now it's gotten dirty on its own. Never seen that happen before.

Really as far as overdrives go, it sounds pretty good, but I need a clean tremolo. Really frustrating because I had it working well and now it's going to be holy hell to get back out of there.

EDIT: Got it to behave again after rebiasing Q1. Ended up with 8.76 on the Q1 drain using a 470R resistor. About 4 hours to swap a resistor. Ouch.
