King Tone Heavyhand Overdrive

While slowly coming back from an eye surgery, I can sit infront of screens again, at least for for short  periods of time, I whipped up a layout for the newly traced Heavyhand. It is basically a tweaked Bluesbreakerwith some extra features and sauce.

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

    In a week I should be fully recovered, it turned out great. Hopefully in a month or so, the other eye will be under the axe.

  9. god i love me some king tone circuits 🤩 only thing i noticed was the R2/133k lead needs to move up from K3 to i3. otherwise seems to be working as intended. sounds fantastic!

    2. Incorrect, sorry. 133K have to start from a line upper, from IC2, near 100pf down leg.

  10. Great take on the BB circuit. Love it! Couldn't find a c150k pot in the UK but a c100k sounds fine.

  11. I must say that I was pretty disapointed as it was. I've changed many resistors and caps to reach a more plaisant sound. The original King of Tone is much better to my ears.

  12. Just a quick reminder to extend that 133k resistor up to i3.
