Hi everyone, I just built a Special Overdrive which is basically the dumbloid. The pedal works great but I kinda don't get the sound of it. Although its based on the tuibescreamer it sounds nothing like it. When you enable the pedal you lose all the highend in your guitar. The accent knob works more like a tone control, and the other real "tone control" is more a character knob. The distortion overall is quite fizzy and warm, I would even go so far and say it reminds me of a big muff. It's cool for leads but completely unusable for rhythm guitar.
So far:
- Everything works great, all knobs, jazz / Rock switch etc.
I just wanted to ask the community if someone also had the same experience with that pedal. I've built this one for my friend and I don't want him to be dissapointed and I'm also not sure if mine is really similar to the original or if I made a mistake somewhere with the components
