Sounds good. My opinion it's not a great Marshall in a box but it is a very good overdrive. The M800 OD is a much more accurate Marshall tone. But this does give glimpses. The differences on the super lead and super bass are nice.

I initially built this but it sounded really bad. Like there was a blanket over it. Something wasn't right. Checked the resistors with the handy dandy PPCB resistor color code sticker and found I had some 560k in my bag of 560r. Once I fixed that it was good to go.

Very good tone. My only complaint is it could be louder. I can easily max the volume. Next time I would include a boost or an AfterBlaster.
