That PCB layout is hilarious!

You underestimate my autism.

Yeah that's just not turning up the gain with extra steps...

Just keep in mind you're letting more bass through at the gain stage, meaning you get a very flubby low end on a pedal that is already known to fuzz/fart out at high gain settings. If you want more bass but keep the response, you'd have to add an EQ stage after clipping.

If it's a standalone dirt pedal to be used into a clean amp I agree. If it's something you run into a dirty or heavily distorted amp/signal chain and you just want a way to make an extreme sounding pedal less extreme or get back some dynamics/definition, it's not all that complicated. Which is...

You could try the blend from the Scenario/Gladio SC

please send the entire schematic of what you did.

The op amp muff has two bias points, both using rather large value resistors, one being offset even. What you could certainly do is make another Vref for just the input buffer and mixer op amp stages for example.

They are not interchangeable at all

Really depends on colour and if it's a clear or diffuse LED. 4k7 with clear blue or white LEDs is absolutely blinding (22-33k for those), but it's fine on clear red. Diffuse LEDs I like smaller values between 1k and 2k2.

I have so many questions and criticisms here... not to say it's a total mess but it is. Sorry. Boost section: Why 2x 1M in series for the pulldown resistor instead of just a 2M2? If you want a buffered Vref, that's not how to do it. Rat section: Why the boost before the clipping diodes? Any...

Not trying to be mean, but you won't get an acoustic emulation of any sort with that circuit.

Would you mind explaining what that filter is and does and how you want to include it in the simplified Gladio? Do you want to have it on your clean path, do you want to add it behind the clean path etc.

Pretty sure the footswitch daughterboard is the wrong way around. Try swapping around the input/output cables, if that does the trick you know what to switch around (the jacks).
