  3. I'm reversing this circuit.
    Does anybody know what the upshot would be if I was use a C500k pot in the gain position?

    1. So a smaller pot is going to have less resistance to ground, so a slight drop in volume, and less resistance will change the impedance, so it's going to be brighter. Chances are, you won't hear a difference, since that 10uF cap is letting all guitar frequencies already.

    2. I should point out that LM386s have really low input impedance, so buffers will probably dramatically change the sound. Not ugly, Fuzz Face style, just fuller and brighter.

  5. I will wait for the one Meg pot because I don't want to risk it being more trebly.

  8. I could be mistaken, but I think the gain pot should replace the jumper at F1 and H1. Pot 1 and 2 of lugs wired to F1 and H1 respectively.
