I was going through my vault looking for pedals I hadn't played in years
This is a Pedal that I built years ago & it has a good Distorted sound but even with the Gain pot set minimum it was high gain, The gain knob just held the note longer when you turned it up to max.
I spoke to Chuck about it & he had the Docs saved on his Computer, it was Aron Nelson's Smash that Madbean modified with a JfetF added & 3 Band EQ called the Stank.
Chuck got back to me with a list of things to do & because mine is my Eyelet Board design, the Traces are exposed & he told me to remove the link between Pin1 & Pin 8 on the 386N to reduce the Gain.
I believe it now works as God intended, it goes from almost Clean to the Gain it was stuck on prior to the mod!
Thankyou Chuck for a quick & simple solution, It will now be in rotation instead of sitting on the Shelf gathering dust:
