Dunwich Amplification Volt Thrower - Big box version

 A bit hesistant to upload this one since there is an unknown cap value and pot value. But a quite a few people have requested this one so I guess a 95% accurate trace is ok? 

Traced by evilarsen, AlexS and myself. It is a Rat based circuit running on 9v/-9v up to 18v/-18v. It is intended for bass but works equally well for heavy down tuned guitar playing. Tonestack is a passive James variant and there is an extra gain/makeup stage before the output. 

The diode selector rotary switch has a quite interesting configuration. Many of the diodes are stacked and are asymmetric. Probably the keep an even output level across the switching range?
