i just finished building a Cream Pie in a 1590B with all top jacks and a relayed true bypass, and to me, it just sounds too dark, even with the tone control dimed. If it wasn't so dark sounding, i'd probably like it A LOT more.

Is this a troubleshooting thread or are you asking for modifications to fix it? So the tone control does something, but it's just too dark?

i built one years ago with my own etched pcb and, IMO, it sounds a lot better. i'd like to make this new pedalpcb version sound more like it. i'll have to see if i used the same component values in it, so i think that i'll have to mod it.
