Deadpool - How to lower gain?

[Mantaray14]

I know this PCB has been discontinued for a while so apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum. I stumbled upon a transistor combination that I really like for my Deadpool. It's 2N3094 in Q2 and a NOS 2N3565 in Q1. For whatever reason it's a very pleasing combination, however the gain is just a wee bit over the top. The Deadpool has no Gain control, just a straight up volume level. I can't tame the way I want using the other controls either. Are there any resistors I can experiment with to dial it in?

Thanks in advance,
Rick

One way would be to add a potentiometer to the start of the circuit that bleeds some of the signal to ground. It's not really a gain control so much as an input level control. But it might work for your purposes. You can test it out by just playing with your guitar volume to see if you like that kind of control before adding it.
