Hello, I'm new here and to pedal building in general and I just recently put together a Promethium distortion successfully. It sounds great, but one thing I noticed was a little reduction in the low end with the distortion knob turned all the way down compared to my original HM-2. I'm aware that there are always going to be differences when dealing with clones and tolerances of components compared to the original pedals, but I did notice one small deviation in the Promethium schematic vs the original HM-2 and some other clone schematics.
It appears on the promethium that C5 and R10 are in reverse order compared to the original HM-2 (and every other clone schematic I've seen) and I'm wondering if this is creating a high pass filter when the distortion is at zero that could potentially account for this slightly reduced low end compared to the original? Let me emphasize that I am new to this and I'm sorry if I'm completely off track here. Thanks!
