SCHEMATIC

MODS

This PCB is designed for multiple modifications, allowing you to customize the sound.

Gain control: for adjustable gain, use a 5K TRIMMER on GAIN pad. Alternatively, you can use a fixed resistor at position R3.
Diode: mount 1N34A for more fuzz, LED for more pronounced distortion.
Transistor: mount a darlinton transistor MPSA13 on Q1 and a 10K RESISTOR on R2. Always double-check transistors pinout before soldering.
Input capacitor C1: increase the value of C1 to boost the bass frequencies before the clipping stage.
Output capacitor C2: increase the value of C2 to boost the bass frequencies after the clipping stage.
