I've never really liked the circuit either way. There's a ton of gain available but I could never really get a sound that wasn't muffled or present in a band context, which is probably why the mid-knob version made an appearance on DIY boards.

I’ve noticed that too, unless I crank the treble and tight controls.
 
Great Distortion, but as said before, probably not very good in band context since it's so creamy that you won't spark in the mix.
