Technically, you are correct. Precise voltage conversion is dependent on input impedance. In the audio world, it’s an assumption, based on the old telephone standard of 600 ohms.

You can measure the the ac voltage of the signal with your scope or multimeter. .78v is 0db

Sounds like your bias is off. You can use this site to generate and feed a sine wave into it. https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ Set all knobs to minimum. Probe pin 1 of q5 with your oscilloscope and adjust the bias to a clip free wave form at its peaks, while sweeping the manual knob.

More modulation! Wait… or do you mean more dirt circuits?

I think this is part of the problem. By the way… can something be done about that ratio?

Hey! Someone built my thing. Sweet! I’m glad you’re digging it 🤘.

Word.

I didn’t actually think about that but… yes 😂.

^^^ This guy knows what’s up ^^^

Nicely done! 🤘

This is a popular model among the pedal community. https://a.co/d/bIUjEf1

As someone who tried to help do this with a Boss BF-1, I can say that this is not an easy task. The best advice I can give, is to scour the old diystompbox forum posts and look for discussions with guys like Mark Hammer and Scruffie. Even then, you’re not going to a find a step by step, follow...

Well, that was a fun read. I had to look up what “Varna Sankars” meant and I gotta say… I didn’t take that as an insult at all. “Illegitimate Children”… I feel seen and loved 🤣.
