Uberdrive Mods?

Hello,

Relative noob here. Just finished up an Uberdrive and it works great but seems like it could use some tweaks to really get it to shine.

This is probably my 5th build total so still learning the ropes, but my first platform I've done that I feel would be good for learning to mod.

Ideally I would like to squeeze some more low end/bass out of it, brighten it up + add more overall gain, and see about adding more range on the tone pot.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get me started on where I should be looking? Again please excuse the newness, still trying to learn how different components play a part in the tone/response.

If you bring C1, C2 and C8 up to 68 or 100nF you get more bass and a fuller sound. You also could a mid scoop in the feedback loop, this brings up the highs.
Caveat: After all your mods, the Uberdrive will not be a SD clone furthermore.
