SMD-9 Sonic Destruction

[chuckbuick]

Here's a little Ibanez SD-9 clone I whipped up late last year.  Just got around to building it this weekend.  I took the suggestions of duhvoodooman and guitarmageddon and utilized the unused half of the op-amp for a little volume recovery.  I'm not sure if I did any of the other mods they suggested as it's been about 8 months since I did the PCB layout and I'm not always good about making notes.  But I'm thinking everything is stock values.

Top notch. It even looks roomy inside. 

Love the aesthetic, too. Looks like a workhorse of a box.

Great build, Chuck. 

What is your opinion on the tone of the circuit?

This is awesome!  Didn't know what an sd9 is, but I do now...!

Are those board mounted pots?  Killer graphics for those knobs.  And another great layout!

Thanks fellas.  I also added a couple wire pads for extra clipping options, which I did not use.

What is your opinion on the tone of the circuit?

I would say it's pretty much a classic overdrive/distortion but with less mids.  Maybe a bit more dirt then most.

Are those board mounted pots?

They are just 9mm pots attached with some vero and wire.
