This weekend's project was an Uproar, with SMRB and presence, as well as some value changes and a few other tweaks.



Modifications other than those in the build document are: Cap changes - 33pF in place of 47pF, 100pF in place of 470pF, and both C8 and C9 for 22n.  I then moved R8 between C9 and R7, and used hookup wire to connect C8 to the #1 pad for the tone control.  I maybe should have installed a pair of sockets for C10 - I used a 6.8n, which sounds good, but my curious side wonders how a higher value might sound.  I might swap out the clear blue LED for a diffused one, and possibly some other diode swaps, but the clipping options sound alright as is, but it's definitely more easily audible at lower gain settings. 

All in all, it sounds excellent - at lower gain, it's an amazing sounding overdrive, and cranked up it sounds almost exactly like my amp's preamp cranked up, but with a bucketful or so of extra gain.
