Valhalla vs Original Diezel VH4

I built the Valhalla, which is a Diezel VH4 clone. I didn't want a large pedal, especially compared to the comically large original, so I fit it inside of a 125B enclosure. Getting around the notorious squeal from this PCB was a hassle, but I managed it.

Anyway, I got a hold of an original VH4 to do some comparison testing and found that they differed more than I would like. My clone is substantially darker and more muffled, in a way that I can't really EQ away to achieve the crispness in the original. Has anyone else done a comparison test between the two? Does my layout have something to do with it?


Thanks.
