Ratcake - Modified Shortstack OD

[the3secondrule]

A few tweaks with this one:

Firstly, I tried a few different opamps, ne5534 (I was getting oscillation at full gain), lm741, (good, but I already have a stock hotcake), then I had an idea - LM308 ! the other mods - I increased the output cap to 470n, and added the bluesberry diodes (didn't notice much of a difference, TBH).

so how does it sound? Still does the clean boost / overdrive thing, but it max gain, it's much fuzzier and thicker. the tone switch rather than the presence pot still gives lots of useable sounds too.

cool! If you used one of the boards I sold, did you flip the diodes around? Been wondering why another member had problems with the bluesberry mods

I did use one of your boards, and I did flip the diodes. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the sound - I made another shortstack with the bluesberry mod on a switch, and again the difference is also subtle, if noticeable at all...
