Hey all,
Got a Sorcerer built, and its quite gainy. More than I like, and more than I expected for a Tony Iommi pedal. I swapped the transistor to a leaky 8 (yes 8...) hFE Ge transistor, and that helped some. But I'd like to get it closer to classic rock heavy and not 80s metal and beyond heavy.
I also swapped in 5 2N5484s for the current J201s, and little to no change in gain. Also tried just removing a JFET altogether, just stops working lol.
Any ideas? I was hoping I could do it with transistor swaps and no desoldering, but maybe not. I'm not sure if a couple resistors changes might do it?
Thanks!
