Maybe some issue with overlapping or parallel traces. Those circuits really aren't complex though...

Honestly, I can't tell and I'm super sensitive to thus kind of stuff. But just to check, could you share the schematic? Maybe running it at higher voltage helps otherwise. But sometimes people are just people.

That way makes sense because the switch would compensate for the lower volume of the schottky/germanium diodes vs silicon/LEDs. But the clean/dirty balance won't be the same regardless of setting compared to a normal Klon/Kliche. Still could be interesting to experiment.

The switch makes the dirty path louder and adds the LEDs in parallel with the BAT/Germanium diodes. Honestly, what you're looking for would be a regular clipping switch that actually switches diodes in a way that makes sense. The LEDs will have barely any effect on the tone really, as the...

Won't happen in a properly grounded enclosure.

I repeat, neither TL071 nor CA3130 have compensation pins. just leave the cap unsoldered. There's also the easier to find NE5534 which would be a more direct JRC5534 replacement.

You wouldn't need a compensation cap for either really.

If you do so, the signal clipped by the silicon soft clippers will be rather quiet so the LEDs won't do a lot

You might have installed your clipping mosfets and/or diodes wrong

Are pin 1 and 8 of the charge pump IC connected?

Post pictures of your build please.

So I'm fairly sure your 4K7 resistor is 4R7, which would give you 1000x the gain it should, which could give you all sorts of issues. Check these spots for solder bridges or incomplete cuts.

If you want something that is sort of a TS but also isn't, try this: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb505/ It's sort of between a TS and a Timmy/Jan Ray, so it won't sound as flat as a screamer but also still have some screamery mid push. Plus it's quite adjustable.

Neither do I see anything at all due to a severe lack of pictures of your build.

I have made the mistake myself and you do get buzz when turned on, clean bypass when turned off that way.

Yes. Your picture quality isn't very helpful but it seems like you have the ground and output wires mixed up on the output jack.

For some reason I thought you had the entirety of the Timmy going into the wavefolder, also misread the amount of voltage gain from the prunes and custard, damn... But anyway, the soft clipping takes away a good bit of volume. Increasing the gain of the Timmy clipping stage won't get it much...

Obviously, but I am talking about the vast majority of pedals. In that case it wouldn't be "virtual" ground either really.
