Show a good picture & I will let you know if they are right.@music6000 I think all the resistors ok.

Bat46 will have less volume & distort more than Bat41.Finally replaced the first stage diodes with BAT41. Now I have enough output, darker sound with fuzz like distortion. I just socket the first stage diodes to try different ones. Between BAT41 and BAT46 what could be the differences? Will sound be improved with BAT46s? Any ideas?
Cheers!
Would like to see a picture of the PCB & resistors!Show a good picture & I will let you know if they are right.
Sorry for the late response. I just find time adjust the pictures as I cannot upload large files here. I used Aion pcb which has the same schematic. Here is the doc link:Would like to see a picture of the PCB & resistors!
I'M not going to be checking as the forum was related to the PedalPCB Ge Distortion II.Sorry for the late response. I just find time adjust the pictures as I cannot upload large files here. I used Aion pcb which has the same schematic. Here is the doc link:

Sorry to not mentioned, I didn't think that it was important to discuss Ge diode issue as it is generic topic. I will be more careful next time...I'M not going to be checking as the forum was related to the PedalPCB Ge Distortion II.
You failed to mention it was an Aion Build & the wiring is confusing enough to cause an issue!!!
There are a lot of pedals designed to make a great rig sound amazing, not make an average rig sound great. When I first started building pedals I built a Klon to try to impress a talented guitarist I knew. He plugged it into a digital modeling amp and informed me "this pedal sounds like $hit".So why do they sell them to us? That had occurred to me too. If it's unlikely to work in an ordinary rig they should say so. From now on if I want a fuzz I'll stick with Skeddy designs.
The 2nd clipping stage influences the tone and volume more than the 1st stage.Finally replaced the first stage diodes with BAT41. Now I have enough output, darker sound with fuzz like distortion.

True, but won't be a huge difference at the low diode currents in the G-2.Bat46 will have less volume & distort more than Bat41.
I take your point! Still, my little, almost ludicrously simply rig sounds great to me. When I play my (slightly modded) Duo Jet through my three-pedal board and self-built amps I can't really imagine getting a better sound. I've spent years learning how to build amps and pedals to the level I want, and I get what is to me a sound as good as it gets. Sure, it's not the Edge's rig but it sure works for me and any gigs I want to play. I don't have much there but there is sounds great for what I need. And in my rig Cornish pedals sound a bit crap!There are a lot of pedals designed to make a great rig sound amazing, not make an average rig sound great.

So the Seals not there or void the warranty after all!!! Ha Ha!I'm going to go a step further... I'm not the least bit impressed with the construction of Cornish pedals. Yeah I said it.
The big pro pedalboards look nicely built, but the pedals just aren't in the same league in my opinion.
Zip ties, spray painted PCB, etched boards, paper labels? ...
They better be durable because no one wants to dig around in that mess for repairs.
