This is supposed to be a QOTSA in a box. According to demos online, this and an amp on the verge of breakup will almost get you there...
The 470uF power filter cap is a bit overkill, you can use a 100uF instead.
Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Ok, this one’s good to go! Please tag it!
ReplyDeletePlenty of gain, but the LEDs seem to provide more of an overdrive than distortion. This probably sounds great through a cranked amp, but it’s getting late for that. Thanks again Anders!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really great. Im boxing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat should I do to have more gain and volume?
ReplyDeletefinally got around to this one, and for some reason, i'm getting more of a treble boost/very mild OD. nothing even approaching distortion. anyone else have this problem? can't find any errors in my build. i was on a real streak for months, and i've been having not such good luck these past few weeks or so :(
ReplyDeleteMine was the same, its defo not a distortion
DeleteWhere does the bypass switch connect to the board?
ReplyDeleteCheck this link out, it explains how to connect a footswitch

Thanks for the link!
DeleteMaking this one now, but with a few people mentioning that the gain is quite mild, if I switched the blue led for a red one would it give the circuit more gain by reducing the head room and clipping earlier?
