hi guys, im trying to put together a sunn model t inspired pedal. ive used the generic schematic floating around, and sounds pretty good. how ever, when i feed this into a james/ baxandall tone stack, it sounds pretty farty, with gated decay and much less distortion. do i need to add a recovery stage after, as ive seen 3 band tone stacks fed straight from Q4 that dont then have another amplification stage. is it something different about the baxandall that im missing?
baxandall tone stack cutting distortion?

Post a schematic of what you built, that's the only way we'll get a clear picture of what the circuit is doing.
hey chuck, hope your well. so this is what im trying, but yea seems Q7 has a pretty good sounding output with the audio probe, Q8, well, kinda sounds a bit farty on the decay and not really as much gain as i was expecting, and then yea on volume output pot, farty decay, and less gain than at Q7. i have read a bit about the impedance issues that this tone stack sometimes causes?! oh, and im using j201 TO-92 package atm, but want to use smd when i get around to ordering pcbs.

What are the drain voltages on Q5, Q5 & Q7?
R12 should be more like 10K.
What are the values of the BASS, TREBLE & VOLUME pots?
