I've seen a sketch that puts a 1M resistor from gate to ground on 2nd & 3rd stages. I helped Chong get his pedalparts Orange King working by adding the 1M to the 2nd stage and shorting out the 1uF coupling cap between the 2nd & 3rd stages. Now I'm thinking that rather than add a 1M resistor to the input to the 2nd stage, short out the 1nF cap instead. I reviewed the Orange Graphic amp schematics, on which this was allegedly based, and I think the latter approach makes more sense. I'm gonna breadboard this and try out the fixes for myself.
