Just buttoned this one up tonight but have a feeling I’m not finished with this one. Mine is incredibly dark whereas others I’ve asked say there’s is on the bright side. On a good note I can tell it’s gonna be a killer distortion/od once I’ve figured it out. Have a sneaky suspicion I installed a wrong cap or resistor value so I’ll keep this one updated!

Build went incredibly simple despite the somewhat tight layout.

I’ve figured it out…I had some 100n mixed in with my 1n’s and put a 100n in place of a 1n! Hopefully that’s the problem.

yep - definitely been the culprit.
100n would have been shaving tonnes of treble off at the end.
