Looking like this mad scientist is off the to lab again.
Good thing I keep my soldering iron on all the time.

But this one combo of diodes on this pedal yields a transparent slightly clean mud distortion (Hendrix-ish) to all out raging over-saturated. And the chip is one of those weird oblong ones, unless it's being handles by the transistors? I don't know.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the gain down to zero. At full off / left It starts with a tad bit of distortion. I have no schematic to go buy at the moment. I guess I'll have to chase down a resister off the gain pot path. The joys of modding.
Any help with the gain pot problem would be greatly appreciated.
