Hello!
I built the Informant overdrive, but I didn't remember to order 470 ohm resistors and I'm planning to not order more stuff for a bit, so I substituted them for 430 ohms. The pedal sounds nice, but it's a bit on the thin/bright side - it's fine if I keep the cut control maxed or almost maxed most of the time. There is nice heft to palm mutes, but no way to make the pedal bassy.
Just wondering if it's normal or did the substitution matter for this? I'm using low output single coils in a Vintera 50's strat, so if the pedal "keeps your guitars natural tone" that could also be it. I didn't have any problems getting tons of low end with other pedals though.
