Hey ! Just finished my first build :O It sounds unreal, so stoked I discovered this site !
My one and only gripe with it is that it over-compresses or overloads or something when you reef on it with the distortion/octave/boost/level knobs maxed (or various combinations of any of those knobs dimed), particularly so in lower tunings. I've read about this in the troubleshooting section and apparently it's a quirk of this circuit. I read somewhere that you can get around it by changing the C9 cap from 4u7F to 1uF (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Question is, if I try this mod to handle lower tunings (I play mostly in C# Standard), do I need to change any other component values ? Also, any suggestions on alternate C9 values to get rid of the over-compression when one plays aggressively low and slow ?
Gratuitous gut shot included because I'm elated at how this turned out. First time build so if anyone has any pointers for my next one let me know.
