Except on a 1590A. That's a little tricky...

Anything Gorva Design is overpriced BS.
The pedal should add flavor to your amp. Not make the amp sound like something that it isn’t.
Pedals suck. (Yet I keep building them

Excellent Dremmel-fu. Where did you get those audio jack nuts?

IT'S NOT A BUFFAH.
I build them because I'm better at that than playing ... because I build more time than playing ... because I'm better at building than playing ...

I like clipping switches, because different pickups push the pedal.. err, differently. (High headroom for hummies, low headroom for my Strat!)
The “open middle” position blows though. Put your highest headroom clippers there, lower/lowest should be top and bottom.

I’m really intrigued by this. Are there some PPCB dirt projects that have that kind of tone control?
yeah well apparently your "spite build" is a "bad copy" that "deletes a lot of the unique stuff, a few key things not in the PSU" and "profits off the name I made, the pedal I designed, by selling a bad copy to DIYers" (actual quotes from the guy in a DIY group I'm in)

Amp tone matters less with each pedal added to the chain. At a point, you only need to make the pedals louder. TL/DR: expensive tubes amps don’t matter when all your tone comes from pedals…
The all true-bypass crowd is dumb. They’ll argue that it preserves the tone, except the added capacitance of everything darkens the tone…doing the very thing they are afraid buffers will do. TL/DR: Boss buffers are best…
We should spend as much time playing or improving our playing as we do obsessing over how the slightly salty taste of a 1n34a is were the Klon tone really comes from. We have some very talented artists around here; visual artists and others. TL/DR: there should be a sub forum called the Jam Room where we can share our own stuff, backing tracks, have covers contests, tutorials on how to record at home, etc…
