Thorpy Fx Gunshot Overdrive

 A slightly modified Tubescreamer with the input buffer replaced by a  SHO MOSFET booster.  The Calibre control can be noisy but I guess "Crackle is OK"....

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

    3. Does the board work at all or is it the tonestack that doesn't work. Voltages could help just to locate your issues.
