Yes I built one with all the correct values and it is quite dark sounding. I love mine it’s a brutal sound and found using my BBE Sonic stomp (I built the AION sonic stomp it has a couple extras on it) after it and it really helps actually my Sonic stomp is one of my always on pedals.
I'm having a really hard time getting along with mine. I keep thinking maybe I messed something up in the build but everything checks out and I tried running it on 12v and 18v. Earlier I socketed the c19 and played with different values which made it slightly less dark, but I think it might have added to the overall fizziness. Dark and fizzy, that is what I get from this pedal. Maybe my taste in distortion is different or maybe I'm just not using it correctly. Going to try going straight into a power amp next. Thanks for the tips.
Picked that up in a pawnshop 120 and worked pristine but no cabinet or speaker. 3 days later friend finds some 15” Altec Lansings got it for 40 bucks it’s a Lansing 510B I’ve Never never been able to turn my amp up past 1.everything starts shaking and I will never part with the speaker Not my dream rig but simple setup and more than happy with what I got Sound and tone are so incredibly subjective . I didn’t really like my Valhalla at first for the same reason but give some time and play with a treble booster maybe paired with it my Nux Od I have not found but 1 pedal it would not enhance Tight Metal all other pedals with the Nux really adds shine zing and pep hard to describe but so noticeable when not on
