Link to build docs. Finished boxing this up. Everything works and it sounds KILLER! I built the 5 knob version from the build docs with separate treble, bass, and clip. Before I label it I had a question about the optional "Clip" control. All the way counter clockwise it has more of an old school fuzzface sound and clockwise more tight and modern with many usable shades in-between. Does this control just dial in (clockwise) or remove (counterclockwise) the 1N4007 diodes for clipping?
Thanks!
Oh, and I used an AC127 with an HFE of 120 for the NPN germanium because I didn't have the 2N1308. Dunno if that's optimal but it sounds pretty dang good. I have a few other NPN's but they're all in the 50-90 HFE range.
