Hello all,
I just finished building the Gent Overdrive pedal and I absolutely love it. The only thing I noticed is with the On/Off/On switch, when the pedal is engaged, in the off position of the SPDT it boosts volume significantly over the 2 fail options.
Looking at the schematic, it seems like the switch controls which diodes are engaged (the 1N or the BAT diodes). So I was expecting the off position to be true bypass.
Am I looking at the schematic wrong or is the volume boost intentional?
As an aside, I highly recommend anyone looking for that real nice Vox sound to try this pedal.
