Wrapped up a second build for this weekend! This one is an easy build and great sounding mid hump pedal... has a decent range of gain on the knobs as well... Very nice circuit.

great looking build "green sauce for the zing"

just wondering - have you tried using it as a boost for a high(ish) gain amp?

been eyeing off this circuit for some time, always looking to try mid hump boosters (for that purpose), but ive read that these are relatively 'flat' due to the large amount of low end that's left in (which is why they have a 'bass cut' version?)

Just finished this one up and tested through my pedalboard and HX stomp setup direct into my interface and headphones… I’m not much of an amp guy anymore.. Only thing I have around the house that works is a jet city 333 pico valve with 12” cab and a fender pro junior… haven’t even plugged either into the wall in over a year… I’m all Modeling now… The HX stomp takes pedals very very well and responds just like my tube head does… When I play live you would never know I didn’t have Cabs Mic’d up on a back line.. My tones are very “edge of breakup” Vox AC 30 … Clean tone is set if I dig in hard it breaks up… play soft and it’s clean… Most drive pedals work great in front of it as long as it’s not insane gain but my style is not high gain..

Great looking build, really like the name!

Looks awesome man! I can't remember now if this is a 1:1 clone or if the bass response has been tweaked.
Do you have an actual ODR-1?
Interesting how you have the diodes installed. I've never seen that!

Thanks pal…. yeah sometimes I stand the diodes up just for fun… No real benefit just messing around.. I’ve never played through the real deal
