Still going through some Effects Layout boards. This is the Schwarz Drive, inspired by the classic Colorsound Overdriver.

Girth is a 6 positions rotary for the input cap.
The Boost footswitch bypasses the Pre pot, aka as maxing it out. First I thought that it doesn't make to much sense, as I would max that pot anyway, but actually it's pretty cool, making it a 2 channel drive. With Pre at max it's thunderous.
The Clip switch adds some Germanium clipping using a transistor, pretty cool too.
Runs on 3x 2N2222A, each has it's trim pot. Neat.
Sounds great on bass and guitar.
