Switch position 1 & 2 sound amazing. Fuzzy, loud and beefy. I'm getting a weird issue with the switch in position 3 (no sound) but I'll have to check my soldering tomorrow. I'm thinking it could be bad 1N914's or a solder bridge. I'll post an update once I have more time to go over my work but I'd be happy with the existing functionality.

I had a big glob of solder between c13 & d13. I cleaned it up and fired it up in each position. It's a pretty great Rat. It gets loud but no squealing when max'd in each switch position & I always love seeing the LED's lighting up while playing. I love having a variety of switch settings but seem to always prefer the LED clipping sound/feel. The additional Treble & Bass adjustments offers a really good range of tones. The only sub was an OP07 instead of LM308 (since the last 2 orders I placed were fakes but I think the OP07 sounds great...so no big loss).
Thanks for another layout, fuzzhead!

...I should also add, I tested with Volume 2 going to OUTPUT (though it's not explicitly called out in the pic above).
