I just saw an old built post of Juansolo including Emma Reezafratzitz

after a little net searching I found a schematic including bass & mid mod

I want to use true by pass switching  so if I omit the C20=150n and the R30=470k everything will be fine?

Also I ve red that this type of distortion makes a lot of noise which comes from the ic, so after an sneak peak on Juansolo built
I found this ebay seller for the 4069 ic.

Do you think will be worth building this one after those minor suggestions?

No one ever built or have any experience with this distortion?

In three years I've seen maybe two build reports on it. It's not very popular, but I'm curious about it.
You can read the entry on Fred Briggs' blog:

I knew you will be my only hope. ;)
I ve red Fred's blog and the FS thread and I noticed that everyone complain about the noise of this one.
Did you face any noise issues on your built?
Also I bought the same chip as your built hopping that I will minimize the noise effect
Thank you for your time and answer.

I built one after john built his.  We tried a few of the 4069 ics, and an nxp hef4069ubp was the quietest.

It's still not silent, but no circuits using cmos inverters are. Definately worth a build, sounds great.
